How to customize length of value with an added prefix?

Hello Community,

I would like to add trailing zeros in front of a value, but only display 5 characters for the value. In addition, I would want to add a prefix of "ABC-". I have no issue with the prefix, but the zeros I would need assistance. I could add 4 zeros in front of the value and then trim the value for displaying last 5 characters, but I wanted to see the cleanest way to accomplish. Examples below.

Value = 876

I would like the new value to be ABC-00875.

Value = 1678

I would like the new value to be ABC-01678.

Value = 5

I would like the new value to be ABC-00005.

 

Thanks,

Joe

Try the printf function.

| eval Value=printf("ABC-%05d", Value)
