I have a verb that users can enter, followed by a 2-5 digit number that the user enters.
The input is typed in as a verb followed by a number, but the number can have leading zeros ": 123 123 #": 123 3 NB. What I would expect ": 1305610 1305610 #": 1305610 7 NB. Also expected ":012 12 #":012 2 NB. 😠Not what I expected. ":000345 345 #":000345 3 ":00034500 34500 #":00034500 5 NB. 😵 It drops leading zeros instead of just converting them to text! It doesn't drop internal zeros or trailing zeros, just leading zeros and only zeros. Not very consistent. I need to have the numeric input typed after a verb be converted to a character string that is an exact copy of the input number. I could require that the input be quoted, but would prefer to not have require that.
