Double to string

[Saurman]

Quick problem,

i need to have following conversion (double to string):

• 123.0 -> '123'
• 123.123 -> '123.123'
• 123.00001 -> '123.00001'

i tried stringWithFormat but i cant find a way to show fractal part without trailing zeros, with a precision of current double value. In other words, if there is frac, show them all, no trailing zeros. If no frac - show only part before float separator.

I need to populate double value into UITextView or how it is called (aka TEdit)

I need to do something similar but have left it for now while I work on other things. Let me know if you figure it out.

this gets very very messy, especially if you localize. But if all you want to do is to trim off the trailing zeros you have to mess with the string directly, after it's been converted. You might take a look at stringByReplacingOccurances... (there are three methods).

NSNumberFormatter is the route I'd advise you to take, as it'll allow you to deal with localization seamlessly BUT be aware that it has its own diffugueatltees and there might be some bugs that need working around.

Ok forget that... just found a major bug. Back to the drawing board for me
