In a separate thread discussing formatting line numbers in FFIND's output, I tried to use @format to format the number with leading zeros.
Using the Readme.txt in the TC18 install directory I did:
Code: 
[C:\TC18] do l in /p ffind /l /v /t"Take" readme.txt (echo.%@rereplace["\[(\d+)\](.+)",[%@format[05,\1]]\2,%l])

I expected the format to be 5 digits long in each case with leading zeroes.

@FORMAT seems OK to me. Here's another approach.
Code: 
g:\tc18> do l in /p ffind /k /m /l /v /t"Take" readme.txt (echo [%@format[05,%@strip[^[^],%@word[0,%l]]]]^t%@word[1-100000,%l])

This is more faithful to the original.

@FORMAT is for string formatting. You should be using @FORMATN for numbers.

You're also specifying the minimum number of characters in the output string, but not the maximum.

That seems worse.

There's a strange interaction between the regex replacement strings and @format. For one thing, I'm getting 1 vewer characters than asked for.
Code: 
g:\tc18> echo %@format[02,b]
0b

g:\tc18> echo %@rereplace[(b),%@format[01,\1],abc]
abc

g:\tc18> echo %@rereplace[(b),%@format[02,\1],abc]
abc

g:\tc18> echo %@rereplace[(b),%@format[03,\1],abc]
a0bc

g:\tc18> echo %@rereplace[(b),%@format[04,\1],abc]
a00bc
 
It's pretty obvious that you can't put those replacements (\1) into variable functions reliably. The length is 1 but ...
Code: 
g:\tc18> echo %@rereplace[(b*),\1 - %@len[\1],abc]
ab - 2c

That's a nonsense command - you cannot pass a directive from one function (that only has meaning for that function) to a nested function. The \1 argument is NOT expanded before it's passed to @format.

The parser evaluates everything inside-out, so the result is:

1) Get outer function %@rereplace
2) If there's embedded functions (@format) or variables, call the variable expansion routines recursively
3) Evaluate @format, outputting the string "\1" using the formatting string "01"
4) Insert the result in @rereplace
5) Expand the resulting regular expression substitution
6) Be baffled at the bizarre result

Aha! I get it ...

Code: 
g:\tc18> echo %@rereplace[(\d+),%@format[015,\1\1\1\1],123abc]
0000000123123123123abc

@FORMAT[015,\1\1\1\1] yields
Code: 
0000000\1\1\1\1abc

Then we go back to @REREPLACE which substitutes 123 for \1. In the end it looks like @FORMAT didn't put in the right amount of padding, but not so!.

... VERY TRICKY!
