Conversion from string to float 1

[RobertSBoyle]

Hi there,
Has anyone come accross the problem of converting a string to a float and losing the leading zero? This affects the decimal places that is used for calculation of a longitude/latitude position. Is there a simple c function which will stop this from happening (I am using atof at the moment.)

Cheers
R.

i believe

float value;
char str_value[12];
sprintf(str_value,"%0f",value) will keep the 0 before the decimal point

Heh, I just tested it and using a plain %f will work fine as well.

The atof function will remove the leading zeros. If U want these things then U have go or other options like writing new functions.
