Way to enumerate in 2 digit format

Share icon

I am trying to enumerate some parsed waves. While I can enumerate them using my counter in a for loop, ie basename_1, basename_2, etc., I'd like to have a leading zero, eg basename_01. Any suggestions of how to best accomplish this? 

Function Demo(baseName)
	String baseName
	
	Variable i
	for(i=0; i<=3; i+=1)
		String name
		sprintf name, "%s_%02d", baseName, i
		Wave/Z w = $name
		if (WaveExists(w))
			Printf "%s exists\r", name
		else
			Printf "%s does not exist\r", name
		endif	
	endfor
End
