[Scilab-users] Digit Grouping in msprintf?

[sgougeon at free.fr]

Hi Richard,

Are you sure that a relative accuracy of 5e-8 of your result is relevant/actual/significant?!
(.f displays 6 decimal digits after the dot).
If yes, and if 
msprintf('%5.2f GWh',2725977/1e6)
does not match your actual data and relative accuracy, AFAIK there is no way with the Scilab C format to group digits.

So, you may post-process the resulting string with some strsplit(s,..) and strcat(s, " ") calls.
Tuning the space's width is mainly/only possible with a LaTeX rendering on graphics.

Hey,
is it possible to have this
msprintf('%.f kWh',2725977)
output something like "2.725.977 kWh" or even better "2 725 977 kWh" (with
thin spaces)?

Thanks
richard
