Re: FLASH: Numbers to two decimal places

[Nathan Dicken]

Hi Kevin,


You can do this by using the subString function...


Set Variable: "myVar" = "12.3456789"

Set Variable: "myVar" = subString(myVar,1,5)


This assumes that you already have your decimal in place and that you have

two digits before and two after.  If you have a different number of digits

(based on whatever number you start with) you can form a loop to search for

the decimal and perform the subString function from there.  Hope that

helps...


Nathan
