Thanks to all for the suggestions. I've used the "PRINTF" version of Valdimir and others' suggestion...
SEQUENTIAL,PRINTF 9999 1212555%04d;1555212%0.4d [Two entries, one for caller, one for callee] ...but there is an interesting gotcha to be aware of. Suppose you have a shell script like this... sipp ... ... .. -inf ~/config/important.csv -inf ~/config/telephones.csv ... because you can have multiple input CSV files and you are using them. Now you want to use something like... INVITE sip:[field0 file="telephones.csv"]... which is legal - EXCEPT that the filename in the "file=" MUST match PRECISELY that in the "-inf" command line parameter. OK, so let's write... INVITE sip:[field0 file="~/config/telephones.csv"]... WRONG! Because the shell script expanded the tilda to /home/pds so you need to write INVITE sip:[field0 file="/home/pds/config/telephones.csv"]... WRONG! Because when my friend Bob runs the script, the tilda expands to /home/bpp! Umm, so let's try this... sipp ... ... .. -inf ~/config/important.csv -inf ~/config/telephones.csv -key phones ~/config/telephones.csv ... INVITE sip:[field0 file="[$phones]"]... Now the "phones" keyword is correctly expanded by the shell and the double keyword expansion on the INVIIE will create the correct entry. WRONG! SIPp doesn't like the attempted expansion - Sigh, are we getting frustrated yet or what? Fortunately the following DOES work <nop> <action> <assignstr assign_to="callee" file="[$phones]" value="[field0]" /> </action> </nop> ... INVITE sip:[$callee]... So eventually it worked! Hope this helps someone avoid having to wade through this in future, and thanks for the pointers everyone.
