Re: Embedded expressions
Hi Patrick,
Ferret version 5.3 has new format controls "width" (abbreviation "w") and
zero-filled width (abbreviation "zw"):
yes? say example:`5`
example:5
yes? say example:`5,w=5`
example: 5
yes? say example:`5,zw=5`
example:00005
Also, the "precision=" (abbreviation "p") controls significant digits if
positive and decimal places if negative
yes? say example:`0.5134,zw=6,p=-3`
example:00.513
Will this do the trick?
