Hello, suppose I want to format a real number, with a fixed number of digits after the comma, rigth-padded in a given width, and I want the sign to be attached to the digits (i.e. not what ~r does).
This is the usual way of printing reals in a table, and can be done trivially using standard functions in any other language I can think of. In scheme it can be done using srfi/48. Yet I could find no way of doing this easily using Racket libraries. Am I missing something? I want the following: > (require srfi/48) > (format "~12,6F" (- pi)) " -3.141593" The best I could do is: > (~a (~r (- pi) #:precision 6) #:width 12 #:align 'right) " -3.141593" which is a PITA. (I have used srfi/48 till now, but I was trying to convert to Racket libraries in an attempt to reduce bloat.) Cheers P. ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
