NumStringer is a function that takes two parameters. The first parameter
is a number that will be operated on. The second parameter is the number
of digits that the first number should occupy. If the first parameter
has fewer digits than the second parameter, the result will be the first
parameter padded with leading zeros to fill all the digits. If the first
parameter has more digits than the second parameter, the result will be
the first parameter. I've found this useful in applications where I
needed to serialize a set of documents and could simply append a number,
and still keep them in order.
Examples
NumStringer(999,4) -> 0999
NumStringer(1234,4) -> 1234
"Doc#" & NumStringer(99,3) -> Doc#099
