>> But it comes out with spaces...
If the code gives you the setup you want and have it in string form just
use result=STRCOMPRESS(variable, /REMOVE_ALL), but if thats not the case
ignore.

I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do
here, because you a putting at least one space
in with your format statement. But you could
probably eliminate most of the others by
using I0 as the integer format specifier.
The zero indicates that IDL should use the
"natural" width of the number.
Cheers,

Could you type in a typical input 'float' value and the output
you are trying to get from it? Then I am sure we can help you!

OK, thanks to your replies, I managed to do what I wanted:
FOR i=0, OrbNum DO xtn[i]=STRING( $
OrbArra[i,0], OrbArra[i,12], OrbArray[i,13], $
FORMAT='(I0, "-", I0, "h", I2.2)' )
Which outputs something like "1234-14h30"
Now I'd like to have this result on 2 lines (instead of a '-' separator).
So I tried FORMAT='(I0, /, I0, "h", I2.2)'
But I get "Out of range subscript encountered: XTN"
Any idea ?
