Hello sir,

              i need to increment  string for using as an filename.   000 to 001...... n so on

Please help me to do so..

Hi TIJU,

you can use the function "format into string". see the attached example. Hope it helps.

Hi tiju,

where exactly is your problem?

For incrementation you find a "+1" function in the mathematics palette. For string to number conversion you can use "Scan from string" or several format specific functions from the string palette... To get the filename you can use the "strip path" function from the files palette!

Hi Graziano,

you can delete the "concat string" when you use a format string of "file%03d.ext"...
Or even better: use a format string of "%s%03d.%s" and wire filename (before number) and extension to the additional inputs

And when there is only one number in the filename (or it is separated by other chars than 0-9) you can use a "split string" function with just the offset, the conversion to number will stop at non-decimal characters. You may use a "scan from string" with format "%d" and wired offset instead.

Yeah i needed only that number string to increment ,so i removed other stuffs in concatnate string.

Ok i'll better do that way..i need auto formating the string ie..

 if starts with  0..  1....2     incrementing....

                      00 ...01..02...

                      000...001...002..

  like this..

Hi TIJU,

to be more flexible you can use something like this.

Hi GerdW!
   thanks, I learned something!!!!!

   Due to memory leaks (i.e. my brains always stills useful informations, or I have a brain-integrated excellent garbage collector which runs at realtime priority ), I never remember format string stuffs!  One day I'm going to write a paper with examples on format strings (many things are not well documented, imho), and I'll put this!
