The seq provided in the GNU toolset has a -w flag to turn on "equal width" mode, so one can also get zero padded numbers out (from GNU seq) by turning on that mode and zero padding the input:

    $ seq -w 0001 0003
    0001
    0002
    0003
    $

Nice, this works automatically like this:

    $ seq -w 98 102
    098
    099
    100
    101
    102
