Hi Is there any standard default rule governing the conversion of a double to a string when the double is of the form "0.x1" (where x is any number of 0s). i.e. should string(0.000001) return "0.000001", "1e-6", "1e-06", "1e-006", etc, or does the spec leave this open as implementation specific? If there is a specific rule hidden somewhere, where is the cut-off point for the number of 0s to output before the format changes to "1e-x"? I've checked the obvious places (XPath Spec, Java Language spec), but without any use. I don't know if the IEEE 754 spec has anything useful, but most of the C Compilers I've found don't agree, same with the XPath implementations. Thanks for any help, Richard _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
