Decimal to Sring 1

[meny21]

Hi!!!

How can I convert a decimal Variable into String value?

For example:

var1=0.25 I would like to convert it in var1="0.25"

Because when I use x=str(var) or x=str(0.25), the result of x will be 0

Thank you for any help!!!

use x=transform(.25)
This is VFP6 and greater (I think)

Str(x,Length,Decimal)

where Length is how long you want it to be
and decimal is how many decimal places...

x = 0.05

?str(x,6,2) && 2 decimal places, 6 digit long

Meny21,

var=0.25
var1 = str(var, 5, 2) && " 0.25"
var2 = transform(var, "99.99") && " 0.25"

These both work in all versions of VFP (and even earlier!)

If you make the field widths wider, you get more spaces, or you can add an LTRIM() to get rid of the leading spaces.

depending on how you want the string to appear
var1=0.25
var2=ltrim(str(var1,10,2))

ltrim removes the leading spaces in the conversion that is 10 characters and the 2 specifies the number of decimal places.
