Subject: Babel trims leading 0s for certain numbers of tables
Date: Sun, 10 Jul 2016 08:38:28 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2wpktacsb.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)


I've just discovered that when Org results are returned in a table, they are modified in that leading 0s are removed. Is this a feature? A bug? Is there a workaround for this? Leading 0s are not removed if the result is a string, but in many cases a string of numbers is still a string and should retain those 0s.

  -k.

#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results table
echo "0042"
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
| 42 |

#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results table
echo "00foo"
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
| 00foo |
