Thanks.
And whether there is an opportunity to set number of figures after a point

[David John Barker]

No. CStr() will not do that. You will need to roll your own solution.

I've added some new routines to the "Convert.bas" module which will now allow you to convert floating point numbers to strings. The new routines can control the number of digits after the decimal point and also the pad count and pad character before the whole part. For example:

Code: Select all

sub main()
  dim val as double
  val = 0.0123456789012345
  console.write(Str(val,16),13,10)      ' output 0.0123456789012345
  console.write(Str(val,3),13,10)       ' output 0.012
 
  val = 123.621689
  console.write(Str(val,3,5),13,10)     ' output 00123.621
  console.write(Str(val,6,5,"*"),13,10) ' output **123.621689
end sub

You can download the new BETA from here:

The routines are reasonably accurate and should meet most users needs. Should you wish to improve on the conversion routines, just click on the "Convert" module in the explorer window to view the source code (the routines are at the end of the module).
