Leading Zeros in SmartStream

Hi,

We are currently using SmartStream designer for Indesign 2019, and would be great if someone could help with how to add Leading Zero's to a Numbering Job.

For Example, numbering 1 to 1000 - but want the numbers all to be four digits, 0001, 0002, 0100 all the way up to 1000.

We used to be able to do this in XMPie with a small script, but cannot get this to work in SmartStream and hoping someone might know the trick?

Thanks.
 
Assuming you are starting with an Excel spreadsheet with the leading zeros in the formatting and saving as a CSV
After saving the CSV out of Excel, when you close the file, Excel will ask if you want to save the file - at this point say NO
Resaving the CSV will remove the leading zeros
Alternatively, save as a comma delimited text file instead of a CSV
