I'd like my ints to be output with a set amount of digits, so that for 

example 74 should always be output as a number with 6 digits like 

000074 and 100 like 000100 and so on. I made a dirty fix with sprintf 

but am wondering if there isn't a more elegant way or preferably

My good old rs.numbox does this nicely all in one object.

If you should happen to still use 4.6 on OSX feel free to grab it 

Otherwise you have to wait for the Max 5 SDK to be released.

In the meantime the combine object with @padding might be helpful too.
