Re: Trailing Zero Suppression

[Michael D Mays]

Use the numberFormat property.
 set the numberFormat to .
will show 8 digits to the right of the decimal unless they are a trailing
zero.

Note that you have to perform a mathematical operation on the number before
displaying it.

 set the numberFormat to .###
 put 1.2300

would display 1.2300 in the message box.

 set the numberFormat to .###
 put 1.2300+0

would display 1.23

 Hi there,
 
 Does anyone have a good trailing zero suppression
 routine for eliminating trailing zeroes from decimal numbers?

Michael,

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

The Revolution documentation certainly wasn't very clear
about this.

Thanks again,

Rick Harrison

 Rick,
 
 Try this (or someting like it)
 
 on mouseUp
 put killTrail(5123.54001000)
 end mouseUp
 
 function killTrail val
 if val contains . then
 if last char of val is in 123456789. then
 return val
 else
 delete last char of val
 return killTrail(val)
 end if
 else
 return no decimal number here
 end if
 end killTrail

Chipp,

Thanks for the info.

I'm thinking that Michael Mays following solution
might be a little better.

 set the numberFormat to .###
 put 1.2300+0
 
 would display 1.23

Thanks anyway, I appreciate the effort!
