i need to get a small score (less than 10 digits) to be 10 digits long by filling in the spaces before with zeroes

of I turn the score into a string, then shouldnt I be able to say

while len(score$)<10
score$="0"+score$
endwhile

i did that and for some reason it's putting the zeroes at the end rather than the beginning, what did I do wrong?

Or, you could have 0's be defaulted and put in every space, then put the Numbers OVER it (right justified) with an opaque background. Might take some fudging but it could work just as well.

not a bad idea bn2, but sounds slower than just editing the variables to contain the 10 digit score
