I'm having an interesting problem... I'm trying to format a number with padding zeros but I can't figure out how to do it in this particular situation.

I know I can use a formatted string with something like [stringWithFormat:@"%03d", 5], which would result in 005 but the problem in this particular case is that the number of padding zeros (3 in my example) is a variable defined by the user... (let's say it resides in an int variable named "int paddingZeros"....)

Is there an easy way I can pad a number with a variable amount of zeros?


Just for completeness' sake: You could also have built the format string *itself* using stringWithFormat:, or you could probably use NSNumberFormatter.
