Format numbers in vector with leading zero: 1 -> 01

Is there a way to format a number in Matlab with leading zero?

Suppose I have a number 1, so it would be 01. I need to obtain a number representation of some strings with letters converted into numbers with leading zeros.

sprintf('%02d',1)

What if I want to have something like: [01 04 08 12] -> [0104 0812], not just print them formatted?

Despite the name, it is not "just printing". It is creating a variable that is the string. You can combine them however you want. For example

s1 = [sprintf('%02d',1),sprintf('%02d',7)]
