Hi,
Í'm building an interface for registering visitors to an expo. I'm on windows using 0.39.2-extended-test4 and the GUI is made with [gripd].... So, someone inserts his name, mail and phone number in 3 different textboxes in [gripd] and everything is [pack]ed together and added to a [textfile]. The problem is that the phone numbers get converted to scientific numeric format (eg: 0445554241424 = 4.4554e+011), so it´s of no use.
How can I get the 0445554241424 (yes, that's a cellphone) to enter the textfile exactly as it is written in the textbox?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this needs to be ready in the next 12 hours... jeje.
your best bet may be rewritnig the form in rails. it should take about 12 minutes. PD is not deaigned for what you are doing, the least of which evidenced by its lack of string support, and propensity to reformat numbers to fit its definition of a number..
