addition

[SAM_24]

Hi,

I am adding up like this
one=01
adding + 05 using
let one=$one+05. I get output 6 which is correct. I want to get it as 06 instead of 6.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

printf "%.2d\n" ${one}

Well you might output it using "printf" and a format or you could do

[[ $RESULT -le 10 ]] && $RESULT="0$RESULT"

probably better ways though

The typeset shell command will do what you want:

#!/usr/bin/sh

typeset -i10 one=01
((one += 05))
echo "One = ${one}"
# Now let's apply a typeset
typeset -Z2 one
echo "Now one = ${one}"

NOTE: You could also apply a typeset for a new variable used only for display:
typeset -i10 one=01
((one += 05))
echo "One = ${one}"
# Now let's apply a typeset
typeset -Z2 newone=${one}
echo "Newone = ${newone}"
