Precision in XLate

[Brian Goad]

I am modifying a field that has a value like this: 123456.00. I want to strip off the “.00”. Is this possible in straight up translate or is code required to complete such an action. I have begun the writing of the code to do this but would like to know if and how to do it in an xlate if possible.

Thanks in advance,

Brian

Brian,

if the “.00” is always there, you can just put the line

set xlateOutVals [string range $xlateInVals 0 [expr [string length $xlateInVals] – 3]]

in your Xlate.  You can’t do it with just your Xlate, but one line in your Action can.
