Counting from Iteration loop

I am currently using the iteration loop to provide a number to be used in the filename.  I need to format this number to start with 001 and continue to count  in this fashion: 002, 003, 004 etc .  But most important once I get into double digits I still need it to keep a 3 digit code so, 10 would be displayed as 010 and 11, 011.   Any help would be much appreciated!!

Just use Fornat Into String with %03d as your format string.

Thank you for your quick response, I am still having  a problem which I am sure is very simple.  I am not sure what to put in the input 1..n connection of the  Format to String Vi connection. I am assuming this is the problem since I have put the %03d in the The format  string connector but  my number count is now 0000, 1000, 2000  rather than 000, 002,003

Thanks again for your help!!

You only need to wire the index number to input 1. Your actual outcomes have no explanation, unless you are reversing the string and concatenating a trailing '0'.
Post a picture of your code if you don't succeed.
