Subject: sprintf bug (?)

Hello all,

I am wondering if I have just found a bug in (s)printf...

According to the PickAxe, table "sprintf flag characters":

================= snip ==================================

0 (zero)  	all  	Pad with zeros, not spaces.

================= snip ==================================

so I think this call

irb(main):053:0> sprintf("%05s", 123)
=> "  123"

should correctly result in

"00123"

or I am getting something wrong?

thanks,
Peter
