I neglected to ask:
You did not mention what you would like done to a number with less than six
decimal places.  Do you want them padded with zeroes?

I was in too much of a hurry to be the one helping someone else, rather
than asking for help, that I fired this script right off as soon as I could
test it. ;o)

Perhaps this is really clumsy, but maybe this will help.  If not, the
others on the list will fix us right up.

until (length($a) - index($a, '.') < 8){
    $a = substr($a, 0, (length($a)-1))
}

decimal places.







Hi,

I have a really simple question.I have two numbers

say $a = 1.559999

$b=1.5599999999

how do I compare them to exactly 6 decimals without doing a round off.I
used sprintf but it does a round off.

thank you.
