And is there a way to force the decimals to always be there even when they are XX.00 or XX.X0?

Thanks,

James

From my understanding, this may be what you're looking for. Use this instead of your existing code. Doesn't deal with the negative sign, though; written hastily. In the morning I'll double check it and refine it to add the negative!

nums = thisComp.layer("shape").transform.rotation.value.toFixed(2) + "";

if ((nums < 10) && (nums > -10)) nums = "0" + nums;

nums;

I am linking one layers rotation to a text layers source text.

How do I modify the simple expression to limit the decimal to two places, and at the same time make all integers two digits so 0 - 9 are 00, 01, 02,...?

Something like this but that adds two decimal places to the number:

//--Expression begins
nums = thisComp.layer("shape").transform.rotation;
amtOfZeroes = 2;
//--Do not modify below this line
isNeg = false;
if(nums < 0)
{
nums = Math.abs( nums );
isNeg = true;
}
sVal = Math.round( nums ) + "";
while(sVal.length < amtOfZeroes)
{
sVal = "0" + sVal;
}
if(isNeg)
sVal = "-" + sVal;

sVal
//--Expression ends


Thanks, James
