Read float point attributes as strings?

[Krion]

Hello,

 

I want to read the float attributes of a point in the Font node.

And i want it to view as, for example, 740, when the point value is 0.74. Or 1000, when it is 1.

 

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

s@str = sprintf('%03d', 1);

This will give you "001" string. But how to convert 0.74 to 740 other than multiply by 1000 I have no idea, its different numbers (not the same number with different padding).

Do i do something wrong here?

 

`round(point("../line1", 0, "P.x", 1) * 1000)`

Yes, correct is

`round(point("../line1", 0, "P", 0) * 1000)`

In expression round(point("../line1", 0, "P", 1) 

- 0 is a point number of your line (select line and check values in geometry spreadsheet)
- 1 is "P" component. 0 = P.x, 1 = P.y, 2 = P.z

Thank you so much!  It's clear.
