String.format alternative Part 2

[DAEdwards]

How do I format doubles (and ints) into strings with format control ( largely for RConsole tracing purposes) ? I'm a really new user to Java and LeJos but know C++ well. I'm looking for the equivalent of sprintf(). From what I can tell String.format is not implemented on the leJOS ? Am I stuck doing my own formating ?

The main needs are
- limit the decimal places
- perhaps fixed length strings (to help column alignment of data)
- possible commas for 1000's etc

Thanks

What you are looking for, has not been implemented for leJOS yet.
If you're looking for a fixed number of decimal places without the scientific notation, you can write your own formatting of values in a certain range by casting to long after multiplying by 10 to the number of decimal places you want to have.

Thanks. NO problem. Just wanted to be certain I wasn't missing anything obvious since I was new to both leJos and Java.

Thanks for the suggestion on how to do it.
