RE: [ferret_users] grave accent and string problem

Another option might be to use "if then" logic in your go script to prepend zeros in front of characters that are being interpreted as number. This is generally safer and gives you the advantage of dealing with numbers which can aid further data analysis.

Murat,
  I believe you need to put double quotes around 03 ("03") when giving an
arguement to a script if you want the zero in front.
