fcvt()

Format:

fcvt( float_expr x, int_expr prec [, int_expr length]))

Result:

Text

Description:

The number x is converted to a string, prec is the number of significant digits (def. 6). len is the length of the output field, if len $<$ 0 the output is left aligned.

SPECTRA chooses a f-format for numbers with abs(x) > 0.1 and abs(x) $<$ 10000000.

e.g.:

SPECTRA> x = 1.234567

SPECTRA> say "Test "fcvt(x/100, 3, -10)
test 0.012
