<!----- significant figures numaric -------->
<cfscript>
function SFFormat(fltNumber,intSF) {
intExponent=int(log10(abs(fltNumber)))-intSF+1;
return round(fltNumber/10^intExponent) * 10^intExponent;
}
</cfscript>
<!------- scientific notation ------------>
<cfset a = #SFFormat(200100,3)#>
<cfset num=a*10^-intExponent & "x10#Trim(NumberFormat(intExponent,
"_+_______"))#">
<cfset num2 = '#REReplace(num, "[+]", "^", "ALL")#' />
<cfset num3 = '#REReplace(num2, "[x]", " x ", "ALL")#' />
<cfoutput>#num3#</cfoutput>
With this code the answer comes out 200 x 10^4 I need 2.00 x 10^4
I cant get the decimal to appear correctly. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Keith
