Hi!
I am stuck on a problem, probably it is very easy, but I don't know the solutions!
I have a list of number in this form:
000237.9
000246.3
000257.0
........
and I would like to write them in this form:
00 02 37.9
00 02 46.3
00 02 57.0
Is there any command that can do this?
Thank you very much!
Steve

a = '000235.8'
b = byte(a)
print, string(b[0:1]), ' ', string(b[2:3]), ' ', string(b[4:*])
Eat your heart out, Perl...
