Convert Float to String

leto
leto over 4 years ago

Hello All,

Is there a function in SKILL that converts a Float value to a string?

For example if I have a value  123.456 , i would like to convert this value to a string "123.456"

I think in C language the equivalent function is --> ftoa(n, res, afterpoint), but I cant find such a function in SKILL

Thanks All

    (StringVar = sprintf(nil "%3.3f" FloatVar))
