I have been through man printf, info printf and perldoc -f print and still can't find how to format numbers. In the program below I would like to print the numbers as below: 383.3 as 383.30 37492908 as 37 492 908 35.7560234069824 as 35.76 1631.11929000261 as 1 631 Please can someone put me right. Many thanks for introducing me to the split command/function it sure is a winner. My simple program which prints unformatted is below Many thanks Pat. Program follows:- #!/usr/bin/perl #Program that needs formatting of numbers $Tot_time="383.3"; $Grand_total="37492908"; $Tot_megsG = $Grand_total / 1024 /1024; print "Grand Total = $Grand_total\t"; print "$Tot_megsG megabytes\n\n"; print "Total time = $Tot_time in minutes \n\n"; $seconds = ($Tot_time * 60); $avercps = ($Grand_total / $seconds); print "Average CPS = $avercps \n\n"; print "Program has ended....\n\n";
