Tipp: control the amount of digits with %n(n)
FYI, i have explored the following hidden feature:
I have set in options >numbers: 6,1,1
Now if i use the expression %n(n) i can quick set the amount of the"zeros on the left".
This give me:
%n => 000001
%n(1) => 000001
%n(2) => 00001
%n(3) => 0001
%n(4) => 001
%n(5) => 01
%n(6) => 1
I think this comes from the "Substring extraction" feature.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BTW:
Maybe it's an good idea to put this "Options>numbers"-setting
directly to the expression command like:
%n(Size,Start,Step)
Or if this (,,) interacts with the "Substring extraction" feature:
%n[Size,Start,Step]
or
%n{Size,Start,Step}
HTH :-)
