no problem, but why do it??

run this after newFile has been created:

<cfset newFile = replace(newFile,",0.",",.","all")>

Subject: Leading 0 in csv


I am building a csv file from a query:
 
<cfoutput>
<cfset NewFile = '#NewFile#' & '#Field1#,#Field2#,#Field3#,' & chr(10)>
 </cfoutput>
 
Field2 is a text field in the database.  Sometimes the value of the field is
a decimal, i.e. .123
 
When I output it to the csv it is coming through as 0.123 by default.  When
I look at it in the db it is stored as .123
 
Any ideas how to remove the 0 when it is written into the .csv?
 
I have tried a few functions (NumberFormat, ToString, Ucase - hoping to fool
it into thinking it was a string ;) )
 
Any ideas?
