Assigning a number that starts with 0

[darktemp]

Is there a way to assign a value of '000' to '099'?

I have a file sorter program that has files with 000 in their filename and the best way to identify them is with the number. The numbers range from 000 to 999.

I don't really understand your question. Perhaps you can let us know what you're trying to do.

Taking a wild guess, maybe this interactive session will help you:

In [6]: for i in range(10):
    print "%03d" %i
   ...:     
   ...:     
000
001
002
003
004
005
006
007
008
009

I was sorting tiles of images from 000 to 999. Had to make the first 10 pictures in a row, then start a new row.

Your snippet of code helped me accomplish this by outputting the value as a string which was enough to sort the images nicely.

Thank you!
