Type casting values #28

Closed TwP closed 10 years ago

Pulling in the work done by @dennismonsewicz to make typecasting work when parsing. I decided to make it non-optional - the gem will just typecast whenever it can.

There is a problem : I want to store in ini file a phone number in standard international format like"+393330001234" but when it's loaded typecasting converts it to 393330001234... How can i handle this situation?

With the Integer(value) code in place for casting, the telephone number format you are using will be treated as a Numeric value after parsing. I do not have a good answer for your formatting problem :(

The only suggestion I can give at the moment is to add a space or some other character that will prevent this value from being parsed as a Numeric. But that is not the answer you want to hear :disappointed:
