#1850 — Print formated strings

Dear Mathgroup,

I know, that it must have very easy solution, but I
cannot find it :-(((

My problem is to print numbers in the string form with predefined
format. For example I have numbers:

60
123.678123
1.45 and
5846.123

And I wanted the output:
0 060.000
0 123.678
0 001.450 and
5 846.123 

Which function is usable for such formating. I came through the ToString,
Print, Format, StringForm and StringFormat in the help, I was trying to
use all "See Also" references, but I cannot find it...

Thank for help

Jakub

numbers = {60, 123.678123, 1.45, 5846.123};

This should work, but doesn't:

Scan[Print@NumberForm[#,{7,3}, NumberPadding->{"0","0"},
     DigitBlock->3, NumberSeparator->" "]&, numbers]

000060.000
000123.678
000001.450
05 846.123

Here's an ad hoc workaround:

Scan[Print@StringInsert[StringTake[ToString@NumberForm[#,{7,3},
     NumberPadding->{"0","0"}], -8], " ", 2]&, numbers]

0 060.000
0 123.678
0 001.450
5 846.123
