Never mind. I figured it out using substr(). Thanks, Andrew
-----Original Message----- From: Hughes, Andrew Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 4:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: replacing numbers around a decimal I am creating a little calculator that is going to need to take a user entered number that will always have 2 decimal places (using sprintf). It could be 89562321.29 or it could be 101.00) and take the last 4 digits (with the period included, so five places) and do two things: 1)Store the number in a variable. For the two examples above that would be 21.29 and 01.00 respectively would be stored in their own variable x=21.29 or it could be x=01.00; and 2) replace the last 4 numbers (5 places) with 00.00 -- always. For the two examples above they would become 89562300.00 and 100.00. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
