sprintf behaviour on Redhat linux.

[manjup]

Hi,

I'm using sprintf to add leading zeros to the left of variable, but looks like it's adding spaces instead of zeros. The same works on AIX.

//here is code snippet.

char act[10]="12345";
char act1[10];

sprintf(act1, "%010s",act);
sprintf("the value of second array '%s'\n",act1);

Program output : ' 12345'

expected result : '0000012345'

thanks,
Manju.

i got the solution..
this is how i implemented it..

sprintf(acct1, "%010ld",atol(act));

regds,
manju.
