NUMBER FORMATS

michael #1 / 3	NUMBER FORMATS Hello- I'm having difficulty finding out how to format numerical output in a text file. My problem: I want to output numbers to 2 decimal places, such that the decimal places are aligned in columns. Is there a way right justify numerical output? Everything I've tried left justifies numbers. *I've tried converting the numbers to strings and manipulating that way. Problems arise when the number is >0, but <1 (ie 0.02). When converting to string, it eliminates the zeros when printed to the output (it prints " . 2"). Any help is greatly appreciated. Rob M.

Dim var As String n Rset var = Format(mystring, "Fixed") Printer.Print tab(x); var or you can use Printer.CurrentX

Curtis shr #3 / 3	NUMBER FORMATS Another APProach might be using Rset TmpStr = string(8,32) rset tmpstr = (format(str(.02),"0.00")) Curt Quote: >>Is there a way right justify numerical output? Everything >>I've tried left justifies numbers. >Just add spaces to the number. Like: >Print #1, String$(10 - Len(Cstr(number)), " ") >to print numbers aligned right within a 10 character area. >>I've tried converting the numbers to strings and manipulating >>that way.
