zero pad string in groovy script

in my Groovy script I want to format an integer as a zero padded string.  Something like:

 

 

def row = 27
log.info "zero padded = " + Format("%04i", row)

 

This post looked promising but apparently doesn't apply to Groovy:

  • Hey, this can be done quite simply:

     

    def row = 27
    def paddedRow = String.format("%010d", row)

    log.info paddedRow

    By "%010d" you specify how many digits do you want your number to have.

    That's because this forum is TestComplete and that link is also TestComplete.  Groovy script, IIRC, is part of ReadyAPI/SoapUI Pro.
