Hi,
I don't think this is doing what the OP needed:
In := f1:=SymbolName[Unique["plot0"]] <> ".jpg"
In := f1
Out:= plot01.jpg
...
plot09.jpg
plot010.jpg
the numbers are not padded.
the second doesn't seem to work at all :-(
In := f2:=SymbolName[Unique["plot0", {Temporary}]] <> ".jpg"
In := f2
Out:= plot011.jpg
In := f2
Out:= plot011.jpg
Regards,
Marcus
