Hi,

is there an equivalent for h-script's padzero in vex (attribute wrangle sop)? I couldn't find anything related in the docs…

Thanks,
Marc

This might be a little easier
string
padzero(int n; int v)
{
    return sprintf("%*0d", n, v);
}

cvex
main()
{
    printf("%s\n", padzero(5, 126));
    printf("%s\n", padzero(5, 23));
    printf("%s\n", padzero(1, 23));
}

Can't just use %04d?

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

I should really start to learn regex.
while regex is useful, above mentioned syntax is not regex though, more like string formatting, which, similar to regex, can have some differences among programing languages, here is VEX one:
