But when a number becomes < 10, it will use only a single digit in the
resulting file name, which might or might not be what the OP wants.
(my guess is that he would like to preserve alignment, since I see
some "03"s in the file name, but I may of course be wrong).

All the commands are tested with bash and GNU tools, so they may use
nonstandard features. I try to mention when something is nonstandard (if
I'm aware of that), but I may miss something. Corrections are welcome.
