Reducing floats to cents to display

I want to reduce the output display of knob values.
I tried with string extract but to works also with negative values i have to use logic.
Is possibile to do such things with string format primitive.
Since i want values like 0,00 and -0,00
Any help?

This is implemented in float label in synthmaker. If you have it copy it from there...
the specification string looks something like this: number for example 5.468464
%.2f - rounds number to two decimal places - example: "5.47"
%8.2f - displays 8 chars (padded with spaces) with two decimal places - example: " 5.47" (notice the 4 spaces before the 5... decimal dot is consider a char too)
%08.2f - displays 8 chars (padded with zeroes) with two decimal places - example: "00005.47"

...and you use format string primitive for that (or ruby), connected to label via string connector. Trog wrote here sometime ago how to format values in ruby boxes (format defs can be provided from outside). Search the forum here or via google (since searching isn't/wasn't working correctly) - keywords like format string array.

Ty nubeat,
The primite works but seems to be buggy and unstable. It's stable but if i put some wrong tags it crashes flowstone...

1) Put right tags into string primitive.
2) Connect the string primitive to format prim.
3) Make a module and add to the toolbox.
Usually you will use always the same stuff, maybe different numbers.
Format prim was always crashing (also synthmaker) when connected to bad tags. But if using correct tags - it works fine.

Would "round" help here...
Code: Select all
1.234567.round(2) #=> 1.23
1.234567.round(3) #=> 1.235
1.234567.round(4) #=> 1.2346
1.234567.round(5) #=> 1.23457
