Treating numbers as string variables to preserve zeros at the beggining
Hi, I am just basically sorting through a huge dataset and grabbing unique
codes and storing them in an array for later use. Some of the codes are
numeric and some are alphanumeric therefore I am storing them as strings.
However, when a code is for example 000578 - once a recall this from the
array it has become 578. Is there anyway to preserve the entire code, i.e.
make the array recall 000578.
Thanks for any suggestions.
