Dar, et al: OR, as I eMailed Sivakatirswami privately this morning, you can request a "pre-prerelease" version of The Serendipity Library: >> FYI, my soon-to-be-prereleased Revolution library includes handlers to: * Convert numbers stored in "generic format" to a display format selected by the user. * Convert numeric user input into the selected display format. * > Pad or strip (w/rounding) trailing decimal digits to a specified precision. < * Strip a number formatted for display, converting it to a "generic format" for storage. * Validate user input is numeric. It also includes a dialog stack to set a mainstack's number format property, which specifies currency symbol (leading/trailing), thousands separator, and decimal separator. The library will be released for free distribution when testing & documentation are completed. The above routines have been completed & tested; however documentation is not finished yet. If you would like a pre-prerelease version, I would be happy to provide it to you. << Any other interested parties should contact me privately. -- Rob Cozens CCW, Serendipity Software Company http://www.oenolog.com/who.htm "And I, which was two fooles, do so grow three; Who are a little wise, the best fooles bee." from "The Triple Foole" by John Donne (1572-1631) _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
