set a to "09" as number
set b to a + 1
if b is less than "10" then
set b to "0" & b
end if
get b as text

is this the quickest way to get a result that is in 2-digits
(not counting 3 or more digit versions)

i mean:

set a to "09" as number
set b to a + 1

will get you b as one digit

 Typically done like this.

set n to 9
set leadingZeroForm to (text -1 through -2 of ("00" & n))
