For or foreach loops both convert the variable value, for example $i = 001 to $i = 1. I'm sure there is a way to explicitly get $i = 001 printed out, instead of $i = 1 that script automatically changes it to. for (my $i = 001; $i < 100; $i++) { print $i; } Is this a print formatting problem? Could some one help? Thanks in advance, perdeep Perdeep K.
