In R I can easily generate vectors of formatted strings like this: > sprintf("a%.2d", 1:10) [1] "a01" "a02" "a03" "a04" "a05" "a06" "a07" "a08" "a09" "a10" What is the closest in julia? As @sprintf is a macro I cannot do using Printf @sprintf.("a%.2d", 1:10) ERROR: syntax: invalid macro usage "…

It’s not the closest to your example, but i guess most idiomatic in julia. julia> "a" .* lpad.(1:10, 2, '0') 10-element Vector{String}: "a01" "a02" "a03" "a04" "a05" "a06" "a07" "a08" "a09" "a10"
