Yes I know. I was remarking that you can put virtually anything in the numberFormat and it will pad with zero's.

And all that time I've been 'manually' padding my values. No more!

I've been using the "format" function instead:

 put format("%04d","13")
 -->  0013

 put format("%08d","121")
 --> 00000121

More good stuff. Thanks Ken.

That's what I love about LiveCode… you can do the same thing in multiple ways...
