following is a sample of a record generated by a perl script i have written ( i have put each field on a separate line in this email to prevent word-wrapping) :
12/05/2003 sold 8000 widget1 0.055 29.95 30500 0 410.05 -173.655333717579 << change to 2 decimal places displayed 2225.37658479827 << change to 2 decimal places displayed 0.0729631667146973 << change to 4 decimal places displayed -173.655333717579 << change to 2 decimal places displayed sample_note_here the first 9 fields and the last field are output just the way i want them using a simple "print" statement, but the 4 long ones near the end are not. is there some way of using printf formatting on only certain fields to modify the way that they are displayed and leave the others alone, since the way they are displayed is ok already? thanks joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
