Hi David, Craig,

Thanks for the tips.
However, what I was really wanting to do was to output a long string of
numbers, each entry with a different format, to a file (which will
ultimately be used in a tex table).
So I have, for eg.

line=[strtrim(3.45,2),'&',strtrim(5.678,2),'\\'] ;and lots more
printf,lun,line

This would probably mean appending a long string for formats to printf.
If I could get each entry in to a format I want before putting them in
an array this would really save on a lot of counting. Perhaps there's a
way to write a program that does something like

a=3.55677
a=format(a,'(F4.2)')
print,a
3.55

?

Thanks,
KL
