a string problem

how do i add 1 to "001" string so after each time it goes through the loop it will go up by one.
like that :

001
002
...
...
010
...
...
192
... untill 260.

i have to keep the zeroes at the beginning and this is yits important that it will stay as a string.

nvm i made something up.. if any1 needs:

let>x=1

label>start

Length>%x%,Len
if>len=1
let>x=00%x%
endif
if>len=2
let>x=0%x%
endif

let>x=x+1
if>x=161
let>x=0
endif

goto>start

Here's one way:

Code: Select all

VBSTART
VBEND

Let>k=0
Repeat>k
  Let>k=k+1
  VBEval>Right("00" & "%k%",3),PaddedK
  Message>PaddedK
Until>k=20

Another (non-VB) method is discussed here
