Rounding floats to a set number of significant figures

[ClaudioAlvaro]

I've been looking for a function that can do this and it seems there isn't any (at least not outlined in the help). I also searched these forums to no avail...

We've got a function doing this but it is painfully slow, especially when the resulting value is in exponential notation as it needs to parse it as a string.

Anyone know how I can do this without sucking all of my computer's valuable juice?

formattedPrint <value> format:"format string"

The "format string" is very similar to those used in the standard printf routine in C.

Thanks Steve!
