Sending(0001) as opposed to 1

[Hidden]

Hey guys,

 

I tried to sort this out myself but I'm having some issues (probably since I've never used this kind of thing before.

What I'm trying to accomplish:

Send the number 0001 to start with, and then simply keep adding one and continue sending, all the way to 9999.

 

What I tried:

$Number = 0001

While 1 = 1

Send($Number)

$Number = $Number + 1 ;(I tried 0001 here as well)

Sleep(1000)

Send("{ENTER}")

WEnd

 

The result is that it keeps sending them like so:

1

2

3

4

5...

 

Is there a way to make it take the 0's into account as well? So it comes out as:

0001

0002

0003...

 

Thank you in advance.

Here ya go!
 

For $i = 1 To 9999
    $sNumStr = StringFormat("%04i", $i)
    ConsoleWrite($sNumStr & @CRLF)
Next

You are a champion, thank you for that, it works like a charm.

For my brain to be at peace, can you please explain to me how "%04i" defines the format? Or is it simply a pre-set thing?

It's a preset thing, but changing 4 to 5 will give you a clue. Look at StringFormat in the help file. Happy to help.
