I'm making a program that copies and renames files in a sequential order and I need to figure out how to make it so that in a quickloop (MMF not using the object) a certain number of zeros are added in front of a file. Ex. 001, 002... 009, 010, 011... 099,100,101... Is there any way of doing this in MMF 1.5?

Try this (the actual expression names might be wrong though): Left$("000",Length(Str$(SomeNumber)))+Str$(SomeNumber)

Alternatively I think Tigerwork's String Manipulator object can do it.

i think it should be
left$("000", 3 - len(str$(some number)))+ str$(some number)

I think the 'Math's Army Knife' extension can do that, and it comes with an example of it (the digital clock example I believe).
