But I would never have got it except for the suggestions, which now all go

Just for diversity's sake, I have often used a function like the
following:
function zeroPad pText,pLength
repeat max(0, pLength - length(pText))
put "0" before pText
end repeat
return pText
end zeroPad
put zeroPad("13", 4) => "0013"
put zeroPad("5", 4) => "0004"
etc.

instead of a zero use a dash would work so that you could make numbers line
up that are in a field left aligned instead of right aligned?

You can use the format function. For example
Hi Peter,
Here's a possibility. Perhaps someone can come up with a shorter
version.
constant dot = "."
function formatDottedNumbers
set the numberformat to "000"
set the itemDel to dot
repeat for each line myLine in myData
put dot & item 2 of myLine * 1 & dot & cr after myNewData
