I want to format a number that is held in a string called s to have a
leading $ sign and two places after the decimal point. So partly
following an example I wrote

static public String customFormat(String pattern, String s ) {
              DecimalFormat myFormatter = new DecimalFormat(pattern);
              String stringformatoutput = myFormatter.format(s);
              return stringformatoutput;
           }


then in my code where  I went to use this I wrote

                       customFormat("$###,###.###", s);
               String t = stringformatoutput;

hoping to have my formatted string ready for output in t, but I get an
error message that stringformatoutput cannot be resolved.

Can someone set me straight please

Mike
