If you have numbers with exactly 2 decimal places, then...
* Remove the decimal point from the two numbers.
* Do an StrAToI().
* Add them together.
* Do and StrIToA().
* Finally, Insert the decimal point back to accomodate the two digits
after the decimal point
(xxx,xxx,xxx.xx) positive / negative is easily accomodated in an Int32.
Float manager is great, but this WORKS.
hope this helps,

Subject: floats
OK... I cannot believe that I am stuck with this. The situation is this. I
have some strings and I want to convert them to floats or doubles in order
to sum all of them and then turn the result again to string so that I can
show it. The problem is that I cannot do it... please... I am really
stuck... those of you who already know it, please help. I just want to get
a
number like 2343.33, only 2 decimal places... how can I do this?
FlpCompDouble Saldo;
Saldo.fd = FlpAToF( (char *) Factura.Total);
/* I know that here Saldo.d will contain a number that I can use, but I do
not know in which way
to turn that number into a string*/
Please help, the numbers I will be dealing will be like xxx,xxx,xxx.xx
Do you see... there aren't that big... so??
Thanks,
Nicolas
