NSLabel: output of leading zeros?

Question

How can I write (using leading zeros)

(@"%d",9);

to be 00009 using a method that may exist in NS?

thanks

@LaC has a correct answer. But here's an interesting question: What if you don't know how many 0s you want?

Never fear, you can do this!

int numberOfZeros = 5;
NSLog(@"%0*d", numberOfZeroes, 9);

The "*" tells it to look for an extra int specifying the padding length. Neat, huh?
