Compare numeric strings with leading zeros

[Thierry Douez]

You can use build-in functions which manipulate strings.

Please, try this one:

on mouseUp
   local userTyping = 5
   local myVeryStrongPassword = "005"
   if matchText( userTyping, myVeryStrongPassword) then
      answer "Great!"
   else
      answer "Too bad :( try again.."
      put "005" into userTyping
      if matchText( userTyping, myVeryStrongPassword) then answer "Great!"
   end if
end mouseUp

Regards,

Thierry
