Re: Printing numbers

Hi guys,

I have quite some reports that print several numbers. Until now we were using the default #greaseString. However, we now need to be able to start printing nicer and customizable. For example, I may want to put a comma every 3 numbers and dots for the decimals. And choose how many decimals. And maybe also choose to use scientific notation, etc....

Also, I need this for both, Pharo and GemStone. I wish I don't have to start building yet again my own number formatting library... so.. is there something available I could take a look?

Thanks in advance,

This one may come handy.

Works like a C printf.

Coupled with 'Blah {1} and {2}' format: { '5.2d' printf: aNumber.
'%5s' printf: aString } it can go a long way.
