How can I format some numbers and pad them with zeros?

17 views (last 30 days)
I have a data set where I have columns of data in the following format.
98.23
98.36
78.255
100.56
I basically want to have it cut off 2 digits after the decimal and pad with zeros in the front.
Example:
098.23
098.36
078.25
100.56
I've tried '%3.3f\n but I can't get the zero padding to work. Please help and thank you! :)

A=[8.23
98.36
78.255
100.56]
B=sprintf('%06.2f\n',A)
