Printing Floating Point values to file

Good evening,

I’ve just been hacking some code in BASIC Vto generate a log file to be read in by another program.

@%=F5.2 v=10.7 A$=STR$(v) PRINT#x%, A$

Outputs 10.6999
PRINT# only outputs Strings or Integers

IF i set @% PRINT outputs the value as 10.70 which is what I’m after.

I think my issue is STR$ doesn’t follow the convertion.

What’s the best way to convert this?

Cheers
Ron

See HELP @%

Try @%="+F5.2". The ‘+’ sets the value that STR$ uses.

Excellent guys, thankyou. That was the bit I was missing
