The key will therefore to be numeric (0-9).However I need a separator "999-778". I suppose there may be dash homographs in some scripts. May I trust there is a single "minus" being used as part of the numbering sequence in every script and specify the format as "4 numerics, minus, 5 numerics" ? Thank you for the help. jfc
