RE: format problem on NT?

This WebDNA talk-list message is from

1997


It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 13134
interpreted = N
texte = Olin ->When I use format like this: >[format thousands .0f][math]test*7*18[/math][/format] >I get this as a result: >4,456, >I also tried [format thousands f] and I get: >4,456.000000 >How can I get rid of the last comma?It appears that you've found a bug in the NT version -- we've added it to the list. If you have to do this in the meantime, you can try this approach:[format 5s][format thousands .0f]1000[/format][/format]which will output 1,000 (it takes the 1,000, from the first format, makes it a string and cuts it off at 5 characters). Unfortunately, this only works if you know how many digits you are dealing with, but I suppose you could try some creative WebDNA to figure out how many digits and commas you'll get and use that to know where to limit the string (I'd recommend just waiting for it to be fixed, which should be fairly soon).Anyway, thanks for pointing this out,Marc Eagle StarNine Technologies http://www.smithmicro.com/ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
