Does anyone out there know how to iterate with leading zeros?
I make a Text field, for example: TEST... and populate the first row with 000000.
The next iteration I want is 000001, then 000002, up 000600.
I can program sequential numbers, but these slice off the leading zeros.
Essentially, I'm trying to make an ordered unique ID field. I then perform a split on 600 cells to return 600 shapefiles, however in the output geodatabase they are ordered 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, ... , 19, 2, 21 and so on, rather than 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ... , 600.
