Export float rounded

[Elso]

Hi Russell

Export float works fine with one except for the trailing zeros. I set myself a limit of 2 hours to try and find answers or figure things out before I ask and I am now just trying random trial and error to round this down to only 2 decimal points (or /100) I may be close, but I haven’t yet hit the right combination to make this happen. How can trim this down to show only 2 points (x.xx)?

Thanks
Nelson

Hi,

Declare your float like this:

export float   fVal(2);

The full syntax available is:

     float  name([dec-places[,point-char[,thousands-sep]])

So, the first option is a number for decimal places, the second is the character to use for the decimal point (important for Europeans), and the third is the character to use for thousands separators.

Full example:

export float  fVal(3,'.',',');

would provide exported values like:

13,456.780
0.123
12.020
1.000

Don't spend very long trying to get this obscure stuff working.....since there isn't yet a manual for the Computation Module, please feel free to just post questions.

Perfect!
Thank you

Hi Russell

I sent you an e-mail about this, but though it might be a good idea to have it posted here so others can benefit as well.

As you know, I recently upgraded my php to version 5.x.

This float process has now ceased to function.
Example:

export float    fTileWidth(2,'.',',');
export float    fTileHeight(2,'.',',');

These 2 fields are no longer showing only 2 decimal places.
Example of some displayed results: 73.125" X 52.8125"

Not sure where to turn

Thank you
