Oh this was good.
I added a while loop to insert extra strings "0" in front of the number to add
if the string is less than 5 chars short.
I forgot to mentinon that the string actually could be shorter (just found
out) and the code didn't work with fewer than 5 char strings.
But now is rocks.
Thanks again.
