Hi
How do I pad a decimalformatted number with spaces?  for eg, if the
number is 1234 i need to print as <b><b><b>1234
where <b> is blank space. If I use the # char to format, I get 0s
instead of <b> like 0001234. I tried
DecimalFormat.getDecimalFormatSymbols().setZeroDigit(' ')  but it doesnt
work. What does this function do? The help says nothing or nothing
useful on this. I couldnt find anything on java tutorials on suns site
too. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Vasu
