Thank you, Monte, but the numberFormat of the output is somewhat non-standard...
put format("%E",0.000001234) --> 1.234000E-006 Can this syntax include alternative numberformats? For example: '0.00' --> 1.23E-06 '0.###' --> 1.234E-06 '00.0000' --> 01.2340E-06 Just asking as my "%E" syntax skills are sadly lacking!
