How do I format an array of values to a specific number of digits?

35 views (last 30 days)
I've got a 5 X 1 double array that looks like this;
>> Y = [1;2;3;4;5];
>> Y
Y =
1
2
3
4
5
I want to format the contents of Y such that they are;
01
02
03
04
05
Can this be done for an array of values? I've used fprintf for writing formatted data to text file. But it appears this won't work for an array.
Thank you.

Y = [1;2;3;4;5]
out=sprintf('0%d\n',Y)

Or considering numbers >= 10:
Y = [1;2;3;4;5;10]
out = sprintf('%02d\n',Y)
