Dear All,

I have a string "00000042" in a container "con" at position 1.

When I am getting the string in individual string for example.

s = conpeek(con, 1);

I am getting value as 42 and not 00000042 i.e., it is loosing the previous string as I suppose its a zero.

so how to achieve the whole string "00000042" without loosing a 0;

Thanks.

    Its not true. if you will run this job

    static void Job2(Args _args)
{  
    container c = ['000042'];
    str s = conPeek(c,1 );
    info(s);
}


    you will see that s = "000042".

    You can get 42 only if "s" has type int instead of string.

    I can see it might be issue with your insert, and not with retrieval.

    Because container will return you back, same what you inserted. you may be inserting 000042 as number. if so,, you can use function to convert number to str before insert or at time of insert
