asp_web_howto thread: Numbers issue

Hello everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I am creating an ASP
script which creates a plain text file. The text file is then assigned a
unique number which is in part developed using the current date. My problem
is that when I use the function number=day(now), it returns me a number that
is one digit long for the days 1-9 and two digits long for the days 10
through the rest of the month. This creates a problem with the file numbers
that vary in length. How can I get the number to retain a leading zero if
the date is only one digit. Also, can someone tell me how to retain
trailing zeros as well?
Thanks again.

why not just
strnumber = CStr(number)
if len(strnumber) = n then strnumber = "0" & strnumber

Hi,
I do it like this (put the zeros back):
strTimestamp = year(date()) & _
padzero(month(date()),2) & _
padzero(day(date()),2) & _
padzero(hour(time()),2) & _
padzero(minute(time()),2) & _
padzero(second(time()),2)
function padZero(privIn, privLen)
dim i, strOut
strOut = privIn
if len(padZero) < privLen then
for i = 1 to privLen-(len(privIn))
strOut = "0" & strOut
next
end if
padZero = strOut
end function
Which trailing 0's do you mean?
