[Gambas-user] TableView.text conversion

[Keith Clark]

I have input a value into a TableView cell, and now I want to read it.
The problem is that I want to read it as a text string.  The 'number' is
actually an ISBN code.  It can sometimes be a string, as it can contain
an 'X' or a 10 digit number, but starting with a 0.

For example, 0123456789, 1234567891, and 012345678X are all valid values
for the cell.

So, when the cell value is say 0123456789 and I convert it with str$, I
get 123456789, the zero is dropped.  Is there an easy way around this or
do I have to check the leading character each time for a '0'?

Thanks,

Keith
