Solved

In IMDB a film i found has a number with 8 figures ?

I found a film "The Hunt for a Killer" aka "Jakten på en mördare"

BUT the film-number has 8 figures, so searching with film-number is not possible.

I removed the first figure - but the film was not found.

I removed the last figure - the same result.

Please help me and give me the correct number

Please provide a URL to the title you're referencing. 

What I find are TV series, not a film.

Also, what do you mean by "film number"?

Is this the IMDb code for the title? That is embedded in the URL.

And you can't search just with the number; you must include the prefix "tt".

So for this title of that name:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12693148/

the IMDb title constant is tt12693148, which you can use to search for it.

@bderoes

Thanks for the answer.

I was under the impression that a film-code consisted of 7 figures - thats why I made the question.

The reason is, that I have a little program (not made by me) where you enter a 7-digit number to find a film, and now my film-number was 8-digits, so obviously my program needs to be changed.

I assume that my program adds "tt" in front of the digits, thats why I only mentioned the digits.

Of course, the number of films continuosly increases, so my program, did not take that into account,. 

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the information about Apr 22 2019.

My program is a lot older, so that explains why I need to change that program.

Thanks @ACT1
