so the short version is:

set a to "10"
set b to (text -2 thru -1 of ("00" & (a + 1)))

just curious on a saturday afternoon where there's a snow blizzard outside
(well according to our standards its a blizzard)

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)

Hello

for my own use, I always use this trick:

set b to text -2 thru -1 of ("00" & b)

or

set b to text -3 thru -1 of ("000" & b)
