Re: Decimal to Scientific notation

You might also say something like: perl -e 'map{printf("%.11e", $_)} 0.99982928833;'.

Update: : NB.: This is a working example ~~(note that it compiles)~~, based on what stevieb suggested above - with the same result. Sorry, that i forgot the newline...

karls-mac-mini:monks karl$ perl -e 'map{printf("%.11e\n", $_)} 0.99982
+928833;'
9.99829288330e-01

Yes sure toolic, but: `karls-mac-mini:monks karl$ perl -e 'map{printf("%.11e\n", $_)} (0.9998 +2928833, 0.99982928832);' 9.99829288330e-01 9.99829288320e-01` [download] ...if so...;-) Best regards, Karl ŤThe Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostropheť	[reply] [d/l]

I'd still be inclined to write `c:\@Work\Perl>perl -wMstrict -le "printf qq{%.11e\n}, $_ for 0.99982928833, 0.99982928832; " 9.99829288330e-001 9.99829288320e-001` [download] instead ;-) Give a man a fish: `<%-(-(-(-<`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
