Weird, input of 1,-2,3 give different output!? There must be something else
involved.

Obviously.

I don't think -2- means "negative 2" but that the input is positional as
well as the numeric value. That is, in -2- both the leading and
trailing "-" are significant.

Something of the context _might_ be of help here... :)

The "-" are placeholders...

Maybe I should have written "[][]2" or something like that.

The numerics have a horizontal position.

1-- means that the 1 is in the first of three available positions.
-1- means that the 1 is on the 2nd position.
--1 means that the 1 is on the 3rd position.

The values come from a listbox whose values you can move around with 4
arrows: Up, Down, Left, Right

For example you have
----------------------
Group 1
-Group 2
Group 3

which would return in the following "output":
1--
-2-
3--
----------------------
Group 1
-Group 2
--Group 3

would be
1--
-2-
--3
------------------------
These values are stored in the format I mentioned (see "output"), but
this output doesn't follow any rule I could recognize.
