nifty idiom i picked up from macscripters:
on leadingZeros(x, n)
return characters -n thru -1 of "00000000" & x
How about this alternative?
-- *leftfill* of 4711 by "000000" => "004711"
to *leftfill* of aNumber by pattern
set aNumber to aNumber as string
set missing to (length of pattern) - (length of aNumber)
if missing <= 0 then return aNumber
return (text 1 thru missing of pattern) & aNumber
end *leftfill*
