Adding Zeros to make it 8 digit
Dear Buddies,
My query may be pretty simple but I am stuck because of it. Please give me a solution.
Query is I have a variable (say $A) which can have any number starting from 1 digit to 8 digit i.e. any number from 1 to 99999999.
Now, I want output as 8 digit even if variable has only 1 digit. IT can be accomplished by addting Zeros (0) before the value of $A.
E.g 1)
$A=1
then output should be printed as 00000001
E.g 2)
$A=1234
then output should be printed as 00001234
E.g. 3)
$A=1234567
then output should be printed as 01234567
E.g 4)
$A=12345678
then output should be printed as 12345678 (As it is because it is already 8 digit number)

Folks,
Is there a simple way to replace one digit by two digit using sed.
Example,
mydigit1918_2006_8_8_lag1.csv should be
mydigit1918_2006_08_08_lag01.csv.
I tried this way, but doesn't work.
echo mydigit1989_2006_8_8_lag1.csv|sed 's/]/0]/'
Thank you, (5 Replies)

pbmupc(1) General Commands Manual pbmupc(1)
NAME
pbmupc - create a Universal Product Code bitmap
SYNOPSIS
pbmupc [-s1|-s2] type manufac product
DESCRIPTION
Generates a Universal Product Code symbol. The three arguments are: a one digit product type, a five digit manufacturer code, and a five
digit product code. For example, "0 72890 00011" is the code for Heineken.
As presently configured, pbmupc produces a bitmap 230 bits wide and 175 bits high. The size can be altered by changing the defines at the
beginning of the program, or by running the output through pnmenlarge or pnmscale.
OPTIONS
The -s1 and -s2 flags select the style of UPC to generate. The default, -s1, looks more or less like this:
||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||
0||12345||67890||5
The other style, -s2, puts the product type digit higher up, and doesn't display the checksum digit:
||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||
0||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||
||12345||67890||
