st: Re: add zero to values of variable

["Rosy Reynolds" <rr@dandr.demon.co.uk>]

If the variable is numeric
   replace x = x*10 if x<100
(trusting that you really do only have 2- and 3-digit positive values, so 
anything less than 100 is a 2-digit value)

or, if the variable is string,
   replace x = x + "0" if length(s)==2
