Hi
I have a problem with printf I need to get this output
1.000.00
I have tired this
printf(1,"%d 5.2",exp[y])
but I keep get the wrong output can someone help me thanks
also does anyone have a function that uses a format like this
printusing(#.###.##)
that would be easer to understand thanks.

actually, it would be more like....

sequence code
code = sprintf("%d",exp[1]) & "." & sprintf("%0.3d",exp[2]) & "." &
sprintf("%0.2d", exp[3])

This would allow for the first section to be how-ever big, the second section to atleast have 3 0's in it, if the number isn't high enough to take up 3 characters (Such as '0'), and the same applies to the third section, only it reduces the number to 2 characters.

Hope this help's out some as well.

IIANM, in Europe periods are used in place of commas when writing numbers,
so 1,000.00 would be written as 1.000.00

Actually, this too could be simplified:

code = sprintf("%d.%0.3d.%0.2d",exp) -- assumes exp is a 3-element sequence


Of course, if exp is actually an atom, which it probably is, then I have the
same questions as the others -- what exactly are you trying to do?

Hi
Ok this is what I am writing a program to do my budget,so What I need to know
is what the %d 8.2 means the printusing thing is from basic all it does is
take the result say 40 and makes it look like 40.00 right now when i
use this %d I get ouput like this 40 I would like the .00 after that.I hope this
clears up things
Thanks for the help
PS I tried to read the docs on printf but it does not make any sence to
me I was bad at math when I was a kid,that is why I started programing LOL

I have a financial formatting routine which will handle this:
http://palacebuilders.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/effmt.html

You can get the above output using:
	puts(1,ffmt(1000,".0.2"))
or
	puts(1,ffmt(1000,"..2"))

where the format string (".0.2") is:

 <no currency symbol>
 <use '.' as thousands separator>
 <field width of 0: no zero-fill, return unjustified>
 <decimal separator is '.'>
 <print 2 decimal places>
 <no thousands/millions indicator>
 <no special credit/debit indicator>

Regards,
Pete
