That worked, though testing it showed a slight oversight since I tend to pause at the beginning of chapters. I fixed by subtracting by one.

Code:

program:
input = $#kobobookmark;
a = re(input, '.*\/file(\d+).*', '\1');


	if 
			$#fanficcat 
		&& 
			$#currentlyreading 
		&& 
			$#kobobookmark
	then
		
		strcat(format_number(subtract(a, 1), '{0:,d}'), '/',$$#chaptercount)

	fi

Though while this tested ok putting it in the column itself made an error about 'a' being an unknown identifier.
