That's exactly what Text::Wrap does. If
sponding perl control character? I
need
to split a multi line string from a word table cell at the word wraps.

Keeping in mind that %10.6f is the format for a floating point number with 9
digits and the decimal point or a total of 10. If

I don't need to round the number, I just want it to drop everything after the

If u really need to truncate it and can't use sprintf for some reason u can
do this.

I'm trying to change a space to an escaped space.
I've tried something like this:
$string = ".\\agmptestapp.exe -i .\\performance_in\\3Pages3Squares.pdf
-o .\\performance_out\\ -1 -dic never -t ps3 -s irs -ppd AdobePDF 8.0
-timer > timer.txt";
$string =~ s, ,\ ,g;

Hi John,
What about the function sprintf ?
I think you can use something like
my $decimale = 10.2345678879;
The number sprintf("%.6f", $decimale) is what you are look for, isn't?
I did this test
my $number = 10.5432634657656;
my $result = 0;
$result = sprintf("%.6f", $number);
print "$resul
John,
Have you thought of using the SPRINTF function?
e.g.:
my $temp1 = 10.25233006477356;
my $temp2 = sprintf("%.6f", $temp1);
print $temp2;
>> 10.252330
I realize that the SPRINTF will round, but "not needing" and "not wanting"
are two different situations.
I'm trying to truncate a number, 10.25233006477356, to 6 decimal points.
E.g. 10.252330.
I don't need to round the number, I just want it to drop everything
after the 6th decimal point. This should be easy, but I'm drawing a
blank.
Thanks

Hi,
Do word processors insert any character for word wraps like they do for new
lines(\n)? If yes, what is the corresponding perl control character? I need
to split a multi line string from a word table cell at the word wraps.
