How do I add leading zero(s) to exported files' names?

I'm using Lightroom 1.4 on an iMac, with OS X 10.4. When I export a batch of photos, they get numbered automatically. For example, if they're pictures of my dog, I'll specify "Dog" as the name to be used and 1 as the starting number. Lightroom will then export them as "Dog-1.tif" and "Dog-2.tif" and so on.
The problem is that when I then load these files into another application, it thinks that "Dog -1.tif" should be followed by "Dog-11.tif," then "Dog-12.tif," and so on to "Dog-19.tif" and then "Dog-2.tif," "Dog-20.tif," "Dog-21.tif," etc.
One solution to this would be to have them numbered as 01, 02, 03. . . 09, 10, 11, etc. Rather than add those leading zeros to the file names manually, I'd like to have Lightroom put them in when it exports the files, but I can't figure out how to do that. I've tried entering 01 as the starting number in the "Export" dialogue box, but that doesn't do the trick.
Can anybody tell me how to get Lightroom to add a leading zero (or zeros, when I export more than 99 files at a time) to the file names?

>What if I just wanted to name the images 0001, 0002, 0003, etc? Can't seem to figure that out.
In the Filename Template Editor, simply insert the [Sequence # (0001)] token as the only entry in the template field.

How can I add form field value to the file name in save as dialog box

I do not want the form to be saved automatically, just want the form to auto populate the "file name" only.
A little background on the forms I want to use: My company has 70 retail outlets, I'll use one of our pdf forms called an "Incident Report" as an example. I would like for a store manager to be able to complete the form, then email the form to the main office (I already have javascript to add field values and form name to the email subject line), once the main office receives it, I want for them to be able to file the pdf electronically on our server. We have mutliple forms that we use so I do not want any of the forms to automatically save anywhere, (at this time anyway) I just want the office personnel to be able to click "save as" (or whatever they will need to click) and the form automatically add certain field values from the pdf they have received, of which will be different each time the form is sent to the office (Date, store #, employee name etc.) in addition to the name of the form in the "File name" of the "Save As" dialog box. The main office employees will decide into which server file the pdf should be saved.
I'm using Acrobat 8 professional, the stores and office personnel use Adobe reader.
One little note: We currently print and file a lot of paper on a daily bases, as soon as I can get this to work, we are going green.
Me and a lot of trees in this will really apprecitate any help you can give with this! :-)

You might want to take a look at the document "Developing Acrobat Applications Using JavaScript" (js_developer_guide.pdf) which is part of the Adobe Acrobat SDK, which can be downloaded here. Read the "Privileged versus non-privileged context" (p. 45ff.). You will find an example for "Executing privileged methods in a non-privileged context". Should be almost exactly what you are looking for.
Small Outline: For security reasons ("the user always has to know what's going on") you are not allowed to use the "Doc.saveAs"-method without the user permission (--> in a non-privileged context). In order to reach the goal of a privileged context you can use a trusted function. You do this by creating a JavaScript file (*.js) in either the Application-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Javascripts") or the User-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%AppData%\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\JavaScripts"). Add the following content to the new file:
myTrustedBrowseForDoc = app.trustedFunction( function ( oArgs ) {
     app.beginPriv();
          var myTrustedRetn = app.browseForDoc( oArgs );
     app.endPriv();
     return myTrustedRetn;
myTrustedSaveAs = app.trustedFunction( function ( doc, oArgs ) {
     app.beginPriv();
          var myTrustedRetn = doc.saveAs( oArgs );
     app.endPriv();
     return myTrustedRetn;
The developer guide actually wants you to add this content to the existing "config.js" file. I recommend creating a new file, since its easier to deploy in a network. Either way, every client/user who needs to be able to save documents this way, needs this JavaScript Code in his Application/User-JavaScript-Folder.
Within the Acrobat Document, which you want to obtain a certain file name, you can now use the trusted functions "myTrustedBrowseForDoc" and "myTrustedSaveAs" to store the file. To call the trusted functions and deliver the file name you can either you use a form field (button) or you add a new menu item. Add the following JavaScript Action to the button/menu item and change "Roller Coaster" to the name of the field which contains the value which you want to become the new file name:
var fileName = this.getField("Roller Coaster").valueAsString;
try {
     var oRetn = myTrustedBrowseForDoc({bSave: true, cFilenameInit: fileName + ".pdf"});
     try {
          myTrustedSaveAs(this, { cPath: oRetn.cPath, cFS:oRetn.cFS });
     catch(e) {
          console.println("Save not allowed, perhaps readonly.");
catch(e) {
console.println("User cancelled Save As dialog box");
Good Luck!

Add report parameter to the export file name

is it possible to pass a report parameter(s) as a file name when saving an export?
eg if I have a list of cars AUDI,MAZDA,BMW,TATA on a multi select drop down and I search for BMW,MAZDA so is it possible for me when i'm clicking on my export to have BMW,MAZDA as a filename without renaming it

Hi waras,
We can use report Viewer control that shipped with Visual Studio to achieve your requirement. For more details, please refer to the following blog:
http://www.jimandkatrin.com/CodeBlog/post/Setting-export-file-name-in-SSRS-report-viewer.aspx
If we are using SSRS in standalone way, Reporting Services does not supports automatically rename the filename with parameter name when export a report.
Personally, I think the requirement is a good point. Additionally, if you have any concern about this, please submit a feedback at
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback. Connect site is a connection point between you and Microsoft, and ultimately the larger community. Your feedback enables Microsoft to make software
and services the best that they can be, and you can learn about and contribute to exciting projects.
Thank you for your understanding.

How to add leading zeros ?

Hi Friends,
I have a shipment no say 10 char long . Now the thing is in my program I need to add leading zeros if the shipment no is not 10 char long .
For eg : if the tknum is 99919 . I need to make use of a command to make it 10 char long lke 0000099919.
Also I need to be able to add zeros if tkum is 5 or 7 or 8 char long .
How do i add these leading zeros to fill up the remaining positions ?
Thanks,

hi ,
use the following code.
data : lv_vbeln(10) type c.
 lv_sonumber like vbak-vbeln.
This function module will convert the data into the required format based on the data type of the variable that you are passing in import paramter of the funcation module.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
 EXPORTING
 INPUT = lv_vbeln
 IMPORTING
 OUTPUT = lv_sonumber
Thanks

How to add leading zeros to a characteristic in CT04

The business is requesting that we change a class characteristic so that it adds leading zeros. Currently the characteristic is set as numeric with length of 6, no decimals. Is there any way via template or otherwise to force this characteristic to store leading zeros, as recorded against the characteristic?

Hi David,
1. If you are mentioning about the "Characteristics"This is Standard Field name.
2. You will not be able to influence the same,
3. Also i doubt if you are talking about the Characteristic Value - Since only in the Char Value we will be able to define the length, etc.
4. In case of Charvalues if you want leading zeros then create it as character , where you can store with leading zero

How to add leading zeros to kunnr field

Hi All,
I need to add leading zeros to KUNNR field runtime.
i.e for some customer it is displaying '2001084606'
some customer's it si displaying '10434'.
I want add leading zeros when customer length is
not equal to ten '10'.
plz kind let me know this is urgent.
Regards
Bhaskar

Hi there,,
Kunnr is using a dataelement with Char 10.
You can do in this fashion to resolve your issue.
len = strlen (itab-kunnr).
len is having the lenght of the customer number.
if len < 10..
 while len < 10.
 concatenate '0' itab-kunnr into temp_text.
 add 1 to len.
 endwhile.
endif.
now finally you can assign temp_text to your itab-kunnr.
hope this way you can resolve your issue.
if found helpful,, don't forget to reward points.
Thanks-

How to add leading zero using the toString() function?

Hi,
I've looked in the user manual and I can't find any reference to toString() for syntax information. Isn't there a parameter for me to use to specify the string lenght? And whether to add leading zeros or not?
Here's the code I need to add leading zeros:
playbutt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSound);
function playSound(e:Event)
SoundMixer.stopAll();
var num:Number = Math.ceil(Math.random()*43);
bigNum.text = num.toString();
var path:String = "Track No" + bigNum.text + ".mp3";
trace(path);
var s:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest(path));
s.play();
The files I'm trying to open starts at "Track No01".
Any ideas?
Ron

Thank you for the code replacement.
By the way, instead of having the user click a button to start a random music file (MP3), I'd like to get the music going as soon as one loads a webpage and once the first tune is finished playing jump to another randomly selected music file (MP3).
I've search via Google for ideas but couldn't find anything that came close to what I need done.
Any ideas?
Regards,

Add leading zero

hi im trying to add leading zeros in vendor number
im using the fm 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT', its not working
anybody knows how else i can do that

Well, I made this example, adapt it to suit your needs.
DATA: vendor(10) TYPE c VALUE '452'.
START-OF-SELECTION.
SHIFT vendor CIRCULAR RIGHT.
WHILE vendor(1) = space.
SHIFT vendor CIRCULAR RIGHT.
ENDWHILE.
SHIFT vendor CIRCULAR LEFT.
OVERLAY vendor WITH '0000000000'.
WRITE vendor.

File rename doesn't add leading zeros to renaming files sequence? And a pat on the back to the LR de

First of all, LR truly rocks. Any Adobe folk reading this, please take this note as a massive pat on the back for your team. There's a lot of childish and naive negativity from people posting in this forum. And I suspect from folk who are not really your key market for this app. I feed my kids by running a photography business and have been shooting digital since the early 90s...ya know...
LR will be looked at as a massive sea change in the development of digital photography. The first time the entire workflow process is truly viable from end to end. What will make LR the ultimate winner in it's field is simply the integration with Photoshop. Aperture, Capture One etc cannot ever beat LR regarding this and so, just like the way that Excel and Word and Powerpoint all work together and everyone uses them, LR will inevitably become the de facto standard way of managing RAW images for pro photographers.
Even with the few bugs (specifically file movingon Mac OS10.4.9) LR has shaved HOURS off our workflow. We shoot around 250 gigs of images a month in our weddings and event business. Now all of our editors use LR. No more Capture One etc for us.
Here's the question - There seems to be no way to add leading zeros to a file rename command. So if you rename a batch of images they appear as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 etc so now when I look at them in Bridge or other apps, they are now sorted 1,10,11, etc
Now let me tell ya this is a pain.
Any comments or comfort that is is a known issue would be appreciated. All we want is a way to have the rename add the leading zeros like most other apps do...
Best to all
William Henshall

PS By the way, I am a HARD *** about shoddy unstable software sold to pro photographers as the "prefect solution" that doesnt work as advertised...I am that guy that the tech support guys at certain companies dread. Yep, I simply expect an app to do what it says, just like the car I buy. I once resorted to sending the CEO of a certain software company an invoice for my time restarting, reinstalling the OS and bug finding another similar app. You can image, I got a personal call...heh...

William-
 
 I just changed a folder of 85 images' names, and typed in 001 as my starting number. While no zeroes were prepended, the pix show up in order both in the Finder and in Bridge CS3.
 
 Say a bit more about file moving on your Macs.....

Add leading zero's function

Hey,
can anyone tell me what is the java function for add leading zero's in xi mapping.
TX

Hi Zevik,
As other threads mentioned used FormatNum and double click and put Zeros. Like if the lenght is 10 then put 10 zeros. Here one thing you should analyse is, if your input value has a string value it will fail in FormatNum becuase it expects only the numeric value.
So if you dont know whether your input has numeric or alphanumeric then go to UDF. So create a udf with name AddZeros and as Value with one argument as input.
Imports: java.*;
Then add this code:
int len=input.length();
for(int i=0; i<10-len;i++)
input="0"+input;
return input;
Here I am assuming the total length is 10. If yours is 20 then put 20 instead of 10 in the second line of the code.

Add leading zero to matnr in a conversion program

Hi All,
When uploading matnr from a text legacy file , should i add leading zeroes to the sku value. For ex the data from the lagacy is 1000123456 (10 digits length). The values are always numbers. The matnr in SAP is 18 chars. Should my program transform it into 000000001000123456 before saving it into mara-matnr?
Regards, Oli

Are you sure that in configuration, the Indicator for lexicographical material numbers is unchecked? If it checked, then SAP will not then the all numeric material numbers will not get leading zeros by default. =====>
Indicator for lexicographical material numbers
Defines the way numeric material numbers are stored in the database.
Use
Caution
It is only possible to set or reset (cancel) this indicator if no numeric material numbers have been used yet in the system since they would no longer be interpretable after setting or resetting this indicator.
If this indicator is not set, numeric material numbers are padded with leading zeros and stored right-justified
