[Zope] Formatting a string

[Laurie Nason]

Hi Sheree,
For your numbers:
Look up zfill useage something like
_.string.zfill(my_string,10) - this fills out leading zeros to 10 characters
For strings I am not sure - there is probably some kind of other parameter
for zfill as to what character you wish to use

Subject: [Zope] Formatting a string


Does anyone know of a way to format text such as adding leading zeros or
spacing before or after?

9999 would equal leading zeros to 10 characters = 0000009999

1 Main St would contain spaces up to 20 characters.

Is there anyway to do this in Zope?
