I wrote a small module for integers. The variable is formatted and returned.

"1 " returns as "1"

Now this doesn't work with floats. for example if I want to print "1.22221"
I
dont want to see it as "1.222221000000000000000" or
"1.222222 "

Does anyone know how I can solve this ??

We have a tool in our library which may be the one you are looking for:

Or take this routine to find the format which was used:
