001 becomes 1 ?

[Lukas]

When you run:

Code: Select all

Shotnumber = 001
#PRINT Shotnumber

It prints "1".

Is there a way to have it print "001"?

(I'm using this to render to the right folders)

Thanks for any help!

I think you can handle this with the Mads Juul's George Procedures. I was trying to use it but i don't have the time for the moment.

For now i just start with 1000. Then i d'ont have problems to add 1 each time i need to, keeping the same number of digits.

Ah, thanks.

I still don't seem to be able to use simply "001" though.

Code: Select all

Shotnumber = 1
string_addZeros(shot_,Shotnumber,3)
Shotnumber = result
#PRINT Shotnumber

FUNCTION string_addZeros(prefix,digit,length)
	LOCAL cur i
	length=length*1
	digit=digit*1
	cur = LEN(digit)
	length=length-1
	FOR i=cur TO length
		prefix=prefix"0"
	END
	prefix =prefix""digit
	result = prefix
	RETURN result
END

This prints: "shot_001"

It's not possible to get "001" back without anything in front of the zeros. The prefix is necessary. :/

Ok, I tried something, but got stuck. I use '/' as prefix before the zeros. Because '/' needs to be in the path anyway.

Code: Select all

tv_clipname
clipName = result

string_addZeros('/',clipName,3)
clipName = result

saveDir = projectdir"/"GestionPath""clipName // <---(There's no / in path, because I added it as a prefix)

print saveDir

This works for shot 001, 002, but when I get to '014A' it gets confused. :s

I think string_addZeros() only works when the string is ending on a digit

[Lukas]

Ah, thanks Mads!

[Mads Juul]

I think string_addZeros() only works when the string is ending on a digit

I change the function so it can take a string with a digit in the middle and add zeros to the digit
for instance
string_addZeros("/","mads1juul",5)
would give this result
"/mads00001juul"

I updated the wiki

I also shared a include script with all the George functions here

Great Mads!
