PERL- converting exponent value to floating point

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hi Friends,

I've an exponent value like,

$val="9.57669e-05";

I want to convert this value to floating point value in PERL scripting.
I tried googling for the solution, and also asked many perl friends. Unfortunately, I didn't get answer.

Could you please help me?

Thanks in advance / Mysore Ganapati.

You mean like this:

perl -le '$val="9.57669e-05"; printf "%.15f\n",$val';
0.000095766900000

Exactly worked as I wanted.

Thanks a lot, Pludi.:b:

Hi.

The command

perldoc -f sprintf

produces:

which describes the conversion / formatting / conventions ... cheers, drl
