I've tried unsuccessfully to find the answer to this, so am hoping
someone here can help...

I've got a directory of photos called:

1.jpg
2.jpg

....

10.jpg
11.jpg

...

100.jpg
101.jpg

...

and I can't for the life of me work out how to write a script to add
leading zeros to the filenames so they are in the form

001.jpg
002.jpg

....

010.jpg
011.jpg

...

100.jpg
101.jpg

...

any help would be gratefully received

Ta most muchly in advance

Rupert :)
