thanks Claude and Kyle for the response...

 

ok.. what I did was break the [gripd] interface up into two number input fields and then [pack]ed those two with an initial [mobile:044(   [symbol],  so as to preserve the "0" in the front and added all that in a [makesymbol %s-%s-%s] object.

 

It looks quite allright at the end,,, although it is a bit awkward to input, since you cant set a digit input limit for the textboxes in gripd and passing 6 digit in each box gets it messed up.... I guess itīll do for now.

 

[r pack]

I

[mobile:044(                               

I                                                

[symbol] [r textbox1] [r textbox2]  

 \            I              / \              

       [pack s a a]       [s pack]

        I

       [makesymbol %s-%s-%s]
