I just tested with a simple animation of a rotating cube. It works.

# Let's save them for clarity

        s = s + "0"
    
    return s+str(num)

    # Function gives an output of a file. From the current frame that's rendering.
    # instead of having frame 1 and format EXR it will give you 0001.exr
    
    s = getnumstr(num) # Here I'm using the previously defined function
    
    if FORMAT == "JPEG":
        s = s + ".jpg"
    else:

    return s
