You can store the phone numbers if you make them a symbol rather than
a float. An easy way to do that is to start the number with a +.
Otherwise, you'll have to break up phone numbers into 6 digit
chunks. Pd's number format can only store 6 digits (unless you are
running 64-bit Pd on a 64-bit computer, then you have many more digits).

mmmh,,, well, actually, I think it´s pretty much ok for what I´m
doing, I just need to find the best way to make it work. The thing
is that the register form has a GEM window in the background where
a PMPD patch reacting to keystrokes make spheres dance around your
textextruded name as you input your data and the camera changes
position when each field is being written. Looks ok. For a non-programmer who doesn´t know what a string is, Pd´s open
and non-presumtive design is still a great tool just waiting to be
explored...(if you have the time for it, i suppose)adrian.

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..adrian.
