CB formatting numbers

« on: September 29, 2011, 08:26:51 AM »

How dose one format a double number for printing to a file to get
xx.0000 instead of xx.000000000000 in CBasic?
Thanks
Keith

Tap= 1.11111111111111
Tap= Format(tap,"00.0000") ' Formatting the Variable
NOW Tap=1.1111

You can also format on the fly

as Msgbox("Tap= ") & Format("Tap,"00.0000")

The message will say Tap= 1.1111

That is one way, (;-) TP

You are lucky I am working on new screens and cool new plasma functions. I have to use format a lot to make it all look neat.

Just wait until I don't work on them for a short while, I will forget half of it and THEN you can stump me easy enough.

BUT I did create some neat new manuals to reference. (;-)
