Re: format string with leading zeros

Hi I have following scenario, the itemCode field must be 14 digits lang. I try to ignore the last two decimals of the itemCode field if the itemCode is more than 14 digits long (16 digits). And if the itemCode has less than 14, fill field with leading zeros so that the itemCodeCode is still 14 digits long. Input Example(1): itemCode : 0.0123456789 output itemCode: 000.0123456789 Input Example(2): itemCode : 0.01111123456789 output itemCode: 0.011111234567 Thanks you
