CNVRT$ (spec$, X)

The '''CNVRT$''' internal function returns a string representing the numeric value X in the [[format specification]] coded in the string spec$. Spec$ is a string that has the same syntax as format specifications in the [[FORM]] [[statement]] for READ/WRITE operations. [[B]], [[BH]], [[BL]], [[D]], [[G]], [[GZ]], [[L]], [[N]], [[NZ]], [[PD]], [[PIC]], [[S]] and [[ZD]] are allowed.

===Comments and Examples===

CNVRT$ is an enhanced version of [[STR$]] that provides a lot of flexibility in converting a number to a string.

00010 LET A=0
00020 LET B=10
00030 LET C=.10
00040 PRINT USING 50: STR$(A),STR$(B),STR$(C)
00050 FORM C 5
00060 LET S$="NZ 5.2"
00070 PRINT USING 50: CNVRT$(S$,A), CNVRT$(S$,B), CNVRT$(S$,C)

The output on your screen would be:
0 10 0.1
10.00 0.10

===Related Functions===

The [[Str$]] function also converts numbers to strings, but without the format control of CNVRT$.

===Technical Considerations===

# CNVRT$ takes much longer to execute than formatting with [[FORM]] statements.
