hi guys!

how can in fill a string to a predetermined length with a character. for example, i have several filenames 1.txt, 73.txt, etc which should be changed into 001.txt, 073.txt, etc

any idea?

If String < 100
String = 0%String%

So on and so forth ya get the idea, I know i didnt explain this well at all,
and this is assuming all the file names are numbers

if not you could use StringLen to find out how many chars are in the string and all them based on that result

Here is another way of doing it-

i found another way for this special case (filename is number, fill with zeros):

SetFormat, float, 03.0
SelectedFilename += 0.0

anyway thanks for your tips!
