How do I concatenate strings generated by LaTeX macros without embedded space?
\newcommand{\FourDig}[1]{
\ifthenelse{\value{#1}>999}{\arabic{#1}}
{\ifthenelse{\value{#1}>99}{0\arabic{#1}}
{\ifthenelse{\value{#1}>9}{00\arabic{#1}}
{000\arabic{#1}}}}}
\newcommand{\FiveDig}[1]{
\ifthenelse{\value{#1}>9999}{\arabic{#1}}
{\ifthenelse{\value{#1}>999}{0\arabic{#1}}
{\ifthenelse{\value{#1}>99}{00\arabic{#1}}
{\ifthenelse{\value{#1}>9}{000\arabic{#1}}
{0000\arabic{#1}}}}}}
999999999\FourDig{1}\FiveDig{1}
without any embedded spaces
