How about creating a string array - and then using where to set the
elements you wish to be blank to ''.... something like

output=string(input)
output[where(input lt 0.00001)]=''

then write output to a file.

PS: Where 0.00001 is whatever the criterea for you floating point number
actually being zero is (thanks David!)
