padding zeroes in vex

 s@frameNum= sprintf('%04d',clamp((@Frame-1000),0,68));

//s@name = sprintf('%04d',@Frame);

s@textureFile=chs("part1")+@frameNum+chs("end");

slight update on zero padding in vex...

use sprintf to reformat numbers..

number padding and clamping file sequences

padding file names and clamping at the same time -

  `padzero(7,clamp($F4,1091,1256))`

 Think I've shown this snippet before, but maybe not combo'd with the clamp. Remember to use the back ticks to evaluate the expression when using it in a file name...And use all relevant brackets

padzero to do file names!

padzero(number of zeros, thing you want to pad) turns _guide.2.jpg into _guide.002.jpg
