I want to format a string output but can't get it straight. Basically I want
floats to converts to a string with no space, no decimals and no dots.
I've tried many ways, here's the latest:
FOR i = 0, OrbNum-1 DO xtn[i]=STRING( $
fix(OrbArray[i,0]),fix(OrbArray[i,5]),$
fix(OrbArray[i,6]), FORMAT='(I," ",I,"h",I)')
But it comes out with spaces...

If you are using this string for something like
an axis or plot title, you might try "!C" in
place of your "/".
