Heya, guys-- Converting a Ruby program to Pharo, and one of the things this program does is write a file out by date. The format is "yyyymmdd" (which is my preferred naming convention). In Ruby I have: "%04d" % d.year + "%02d" % d.month + "%02d" % d.day In Smalltalk, the closest I can seem to get to this is: d year asString, (d monthIndex asString padLeftTo: 2 with: $0), (d dayOfMonth asString padLeftTo: 2 with: $0) ...which seems sort verbose. Anyone have any more elegant solutions?
