Expressions: Leading zeros and decimal places.

[Quba Michalski]

If you want to continue learning expressions, disregard this reply. If you, however just want to get things done, I recommend the free expression called UberNumber I created a while back.

It does leading zeroes, decimal places, negative symbol before/after currency symbol, digit grouping and a few more things. The idea was to write a number expression to end all expressions and I think it works.

Hi everyone! If you’ve stumbled upon this post and found the previous expressions don;t work then use this modified one. There was a slight typo in the last post which breaks the expression.

nums= PICKWHIP VALUE ;
amtOfZeroes= 10 ;
numOfDecimals= 3 ;

//------------------------------------------------------------ ;

nums = nums.value.toFixed(numOfDecimals);

isNeg = false;
if (nums < 0)
{
nums = Math.abs(nums);
nums = nums.toFixed(numOfDecimals);
isNeg = true;
}
numsArray = nums.split(".");
numsFloat = numsArray[0];
while (numsFloat.length < amtOfZeroes)
{
numsFloat = "0" + numsFloat;
}
if(isNeg)
{
numsFloat = "-" + "0" + numsFloat;
}

numsFloat + "." + numsArray[1]
