This fellow asked a question about a related issue in clp.misc, and I don't know what answer to give him: Path: newshog.newsread.com!bad-news.newsread.com!netaxs.com!newsread.com!news.misty.com!news.pir.net!panix!newsxfer.eecs.umich.edu!news-spur1.maxwell.syr.edu!news.maxwell.syr.edu!news.msfc.nasa.gov!skates!not-for-mail From: Jonathan Kuhn <jonathan.kuhn@gsfc.nasa.gov> Newsgroups: comp.lang.perl.misc Subject: printf %e exponent digits Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2000 11:47:08 -0400 Organization: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (skates.gsfc.nasa.gov) Lines: 22 Message-ID: <39859F7C.96A1F360@gsfc.nasa.gov> NNTP-Posting-Host: bigbird.gsfc.nasa.gov Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Trace: skates.gsfc.nasa.gov 965058970 20594 128.183.154.2 (31 Jul 2000 15:56:10 GMT) X-Complaints-To: dscoggin@cne-odin.gsfc.nasa.gov NNTP-Posting-Date: 31 Jul 2000 15:56:10 GMT X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.73 [en] (WinNT; U) X-Accept-Language: en Xref: bad-news.newsread.com comp.lang.perl.misc:333511 Hello, How do you set the number of digits for the %e descriptor in printf? I must have 2 digits, but activeperl under windows nt is giving 3. Perl on an SGI with IRIX is giving 2. Sorry if the answer to this is out there somewhere, but I have spent over an hour searching and haven't found anything.
