[scilab-Users] Integer to string - excluding scientific notation

[Mathieu Dubois]

Hello,

I see 2 options.

First you can change the format with which the data are displayed (see 
help('format')).
For instance:
-->c=3e8
  c  =
     3.000D+08
-->string(c)
  ans  =
  3.000D+08
-->format(15) // Display more digits
-->c
  c  =
     300000000.

Second you can generate the string with mprintf and related function 
(see help('mprintf')):
-->mprintf("%d", c)
300000000

I prefer the second option because you won't need to use format at every 
startup.

HTH,
Mathieu
