Force prevailing 0 on single integer

[Pooley]

Is there an easy way to force ASP to display integers less than 10 thus:
01, 02, 03 etc...

There must be an easier way than doing an If < 10 calculation etc. and
adding a prevailing '0' - mustn't there....?

Thanks.

See John Stockton's

That is Javascript, but if you prefer VBscript the principles are easily
ported.

In short it depends on what input you allow, negatives allowed? etc

If you're reading data from a database you could amend the procedure to
return the data formatted as you like.

However you do it though, you will need to do some form of If < 10 !!

You'd handle this in your output, since there's no way I know of to STORE an
integer with leading zeros. Try:

dim myval
myVal = "5"
response.write right("00" & myVal, 2)
'--- returns "05"
myVal = "25"
response.write right("00" & myVal, 2)
'--- returns "25"
