Operating System:winXP
Hi everyone,
Can anybody tell me how to format the number "0" (ie, zero) as "0.000" in a labtalk script?
I have a loop that imports files with filenames "file_r=0.000.dat" to "file_r=1.000" where r is incremented in steps of 0.001. For r not equal to 0, I can simply use %N=file_r=$(rot,.4).dat, but when the value of my variable is "0", origin doesn't respect my formatting request. Any way to get around this?
Thanks!

One more question: does anyone know where I can find information about the different formatting options that can be used with the substitution notation in labtalk? Searching the help files has gotten me nowhere...

Hi Hideo Fujii,
Thank you a million times over for that little piece of advice! Hard coding file names with if statements isn't so bad if there is just one variable which might equal 0, but if you have 2 or more, it gets quite messy. Thanks again,

Hi Alexis,
C format $(rot,%.3f) should work as below:
rot=0;
%k=$(rot,%.3f).dat;
%k=;
0.000.dat
rot=1;
%k=$(rot,%.3f).dat;
%k=;
1.000.dat

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the reply. I figured as much, but was hoping for a better way to do this (is this a labtalk bug?). At least now I know, and won't have to waste my time looking for something else! And yes, you are right, it should be $(rot,.3), I just made a mistake when parsing my question...
Cheers,
Alexis

Hi Alexis,
Might be easiest to force the formatting for rot=0...
if( rot>0 ) %N=$(rot,.4).dat; // shouldn't it be .3?
else %N=0.000.dat;
