float to string

[Anonymous]

Hi guys,

i am looking for a AutoLISP command which converts a float to a string.

Pls help!

A float is a real. So (rtos) function.

> (setq fl (float 2))
> (rtos fl 2 2)
2.00

>(rtos fl 2 0)
2

Watch DIMZIN sysvar for tailing zeros.

See HERE about the conversion functions.

rtos works

Can set the precision if required

eg. (rtos pi 2 2 ) returns "3.14"

(rtos pi 2 3 ) returns "3.142"
