Hi, RE: Restore Leading Zeros in Zip Codes Does anyone happen to have a script that will restore the leading zeros in a mixed data set of 5 digit zip codes and 10 digit zip+4 codes? Any suggestions? Thanks, Keith
Keith: Why take them out in the first place? Keep the zip code as a string. After all, not all countries use just numbers. Cheers, tedd or, if you use US zip codes only, use ZEROFILL feature in mysql?
