regarding float to string conversion

fazul over 14 years ago

Hi everybody

i am very new to SKILL programming, so this might be a very simple question ... Actually i want to do

Float to String converstion . I am working on IC5.1 framework.

upon searching i found this method

strVar = 1.23e4

ftVar = sprintf( nil "%.2e" strVar)

is there any other neater way of doing ? the problem i found with the above method is that even smaller float values say 23.4 will be

forcibly converted to scientific notation "2.34e+01" .. which looks pretty ugly(aestically) on my ReportField.

background :

It seems like ReportField in IC51 doesnt support scientific notation for float values.. So i am stuck on doing the Float2String conversion

before displaying it in the ReportField...

hope i made my problem clear. Please advice me if there is a better way of doing this.

thanks in advance,

Have a great day

You could also use the functions aelEngNotation(), aelSuffixNotation() or aelScientificNotation() - depending on what you want.
