At the top of each hour the script runs and grabs the current temperature. I have a folder of audio files from 0-110. When I get the current temperature, the remainder of the script grabs the appropriate file for announcements "The current temperature is 88 degrees." Hence, no need for the fractional part. I certainly don't need the additional hundreds of audio files to say "The current temperature is 88 point five degrees." Michael
