I have a similar problem but I only want to add the 0 if my string length is shorter than the wanted number of arguments. As in I have values &quot;23A&quot;, &quot;17&quot;, &quot;265B&quot; and I want them to be returned as &quot;023A&quot;, &quot;0017&quot;, and &quot;265B&quot;. The above code seems to do the job. However I get a note saying that the values parsed in argument 2 are invalid. This is no surprice as I get negative values when I substract the extra 1. If I don&#39;t then I will get a 0 in front of everything.
