You don't necessarily need to test if a number is x digits. You purely tell Perl to treat it like x digits what-so-ever; $number = sprintf("%05d", $number); Hence, you might want to check if the number really _is_ a number, and that's a whole other story alltogether. :-) -- Tore Aursand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
