Hi,

I found a lot of thread on how to make all Tag Track Number 2 digit i.e. from 1 to 01, but what about the opposite? I want to have all 1 digit Tag Track Numbers 1 digit and not 2.

1  
2  
3 etc.

and not

01  
02  
03 etc.

I want this funkcion only for cleaning up existing Tags that are in the 01 format.

Use $num(%track%,1) instead. 🙂

One additional question. How do I prevent it from writing 0 when the Tag Track field is empty?
