texte = I'm formatting some prices to be included in a [sendmail].When I use:$[format 10.2f][price][/format]I get a list such as:$ 1164.00 $ 926.00 $ 1246.00 $ 19.00 $ 1665.00 $ 780.69 $ 11933.37Which is ok (don't like the hanging $s, but if I use [format 10.2f]$[price][/format], all the prices come up 0.00)However, if I use what I prefer:$[format thousands 10.2f][price][/format]my list becomes:$1,164.00 $926.00 $1,246.00 $19.00 $1,665.00 $780.69 $11,933.37I want the comma separators, but what happened to the preceding spaces? According to the online docs, this should be working. I suppose I could use a combination of [format] and [countchars] to add the padding spaces manually, place the dollar sign immediately in front of the number, and still get the thousands separators.Rob Marquardt Designer/Resident Wirehead Toast Design300 First Avenue North, Suite 150 Minneapolis MN 55401 612.330.9863 v 612.321.9424 f www.toastdesign.com
