Assuming that variable “n” in a source text expression has your value, adding this to your expression should do it:

s = “” + Math.round(clamp(n,0,9999));
while (s.length < 4) s = "0" + s; s Dan

You could use the numbers effect if you want to. Just select “Number [Leading Zeros] in the “type” option.

Yeah I tried that but it added 5 ‘0’s when I only wanted 4… is there a simple way to adjust this? I had a look but couldn’t find a solution. Would that involve adding some action script as well?

It’d be good to know as a back pocket fix.
