Can you post a sample of the script you are using?

There are issues with numbers in general, such as finding a matching string 
of digits within a larger number (eg: "123" in "41235"); but if all your 
numbers are 10 digits and you are giving "find" a 10-digit numeric string, 
that should not be a problem.
