Hello Andreas,
your solution is almost working. The only thing that doesn't fit is
the length of the output. de/pl should only by two letters but in the
output there are a plenty of blanks before. I assume this happens
because the eight digits were substituted by only two letters?
Better understanding:
xxxxxxde where 'x' stands for a blank
Could that be corrected to use not so much space in the bar?
