    Hi Sten,

     

    Have you seen the Groovy 'padLeft' command? Maybe this can do what you need?

     

    Consider the example:

     

    for ( i in 0..10 ) {
        log.info i.toString().padLeft(2,'0')
    }

     

    This prints:

    • Thu Sep 17 17:55:15 BST 2015:INFO:10

    So, basically you could get your counter value (as a String) and use padLeft(2, '0') to append a 0 when the counter is <10, is this the sort of thing you want?

     

    Cheers,

    Rupert

Sorry! I diddn't understand your respons properly at first.

I tried it with your suggestion and it works like charm!

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH! :heart:

 

The solution who ever is also looking for something simliar. :smileywink:

{=def bla=${#TestSuite#Counter};bla.plus(1).toString().padLeft(2,'0');}

It gets an testsuite propert, increases it by 1 and occurs as 02.

 

Best Regards

Sten
