[thelist] ASP: getting double digits

This ought to give oyu the idea:

varNow = Now
strMonth = MakeCorrect(CStr(Month(varNow)), 2)
strYear = MakeCorrect(Cstr(Year(varNow)), 4)

Function MakeCorrect(strString, ExpectedLength)
    If Len(strString) = ExpectedLength THEN strString = "0" & strString
    IF trim(strString) = "" THEN
        FOR i = 1 to ExpectedLength
            strString = strString & "0"
        NEXT
    MakeCorrect = strString
END Function
