I am using a float as part of a filename (of a sound I record). However the filenames are like:

blabla0.wav
blabla10.wav
blabla20.wav
[..]
blabla100.wav

Now, I was wondering if it is possible to get:

blabla000.wav
blabla010.wav
blabla020.wav
[..]
blabla100.wav

In other words can I get a specific output format, e.g. 3decimals, from a [float]?

Note: I am computing the float (counter*constant), so I can't just type a 3 decimal number as input for the [makefilename]

here's how I'd do it.

[makefilename blabla%03d.wav] for 3 digits with leading 00s

Ah, thanks the solution!

I tried %d3, which -obvious- didn't work.
