re: genstring length ?

Anyone know the maximum genstring length? .... and the symbols required, in the .gen file beyond 9 ??
example:
1 <1>
2 <2>
3 <3>
4 <4>
5 <5>
6 <6>
7 <7>
8 <8>
9 <9>
10 <:>
11 <;>
12 <<>
13 <=>
14
15 <?>
16 <@>



**THANKS SOLVED**

I don't know the maximum but the format should be <123> or <1234>... i guess.
Normally, in the GEN files first section, there is a description how to use it. Take an original ISI Gen file.
 
Sorry you missed my question .................. what do you do once you get past 9 digits???
I've not found an ISI mod beyond 9.
I know you can go beyond 9 digits ........... I just don't know the symbols that work in the .gen file past nine.
I know some for example <:> is the tenth digit ................. and

I think <=> is the eleventh or twelfth position

I know there is also <@> and <?>
 
Yes seems so :)
Maybe that comes because i never fiddled around with it, i prefer to use the Upgrades.

But when you have seen :, = and the other ones, where did you see it?
And when they worked there, they should work for you too or don't they?

I fear there is no documentation where you can find a complete definition.

In a .GEN file the digits of the GenString are specified in the order of the ASCII code - 123456789:;<=>?@ for the first sixteen. The < and > digits (12 and 14) can't be used since they are token delimiters...I wouldn't be surprised if digits up to the ~ (127) are allowed since 128 is delete. Characters above 128 vary between character sets so I doubt those are allowed.

FWIW I had tested using < and gotten it to work, but since it was also used to tag, have never felt safe doing so.
