It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 69265
interpreted = N
texte = What up everybody! Nice solution D, however the link is including the last character after the number, i.e., the period and the comma as in "http://someaddress.com/file.tpl?TN=2345,". I believe that Alex has said that these numbers are always 4 digits, if so, then I'd just use a getchars starting from the end. That's a non-scalable option though in case those numbers ever do increase to 5 digits. G.
