Subject: Simple string operation

seqNo =
File.basename("/Volumes/MINOLTA1/DCIM/100MLT16/PICT0004.MOV",".*")[-1,3].to_s
seqNo = "-" + seqNo+ ".xx.m"
puts "seqNo: #{seqNo} " # >> seqNo: -4.xx.m

but I want it to be -004.xx.m. In other words I want the leading zeros.

I didn't even think the .to_s should be necessary, but tried it in
desperation.

Thanks

Newbie (but you already figured that out by the question).
