Posted: 04/10/07 22:01:04 Hi, quick question..... How do I control the number of decimal places displayed with Stdout? It seems to like to round to the nearest hundredth.... Stdout(1.235)(); Output = 1.24 Any help would be greatly appreciated, Mason

Stdout.format() supports format strings of the following style: {[index][,width][:format]} where index is an optional argument index, width is an optional minimal width (+/-), and format is specific to the argument represented by index. For floating point values, the format specifier may include a precision value. The following will emit 4 decimal places: Stdout.format ("{:f4}", 1.2345678);
