Matt:

Try this:

....

$test = 714;
printf "%5.2f", $test;

....

It should give you the desired result...

All,

Can you guys give me a hand here? Given a scalar that contans the integer
714, how can I make it print out 714.00? I've tried several different
variations with printf and sprintf, but to no avail. Any help would be
appreciated.
