    How can you format a number in java (say integer value 8) so that it is in the following format:

    0000000008

    cheers!

    You need to import java.text.NumberFormat

    then something like

    NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance() ;
    nf.setMinimumIntegerDigits(10) ;
    nf.format(var) ;

    btw nf.format returns a string

    cheers.

    that however outputs the string in the following format "0,000,000,008".
    I need it without the "," seperators

    /edit
    ye put me on the right though.
    The solution is:

    NumberFormat nf= new DecimalFormat("00000000");
    String s = nf.format(8);

    which gives "0000008"

    Thanks for the help!
