zero suppression? 1

[snotmare]

Greetings!

I have the following numbers...

10.45
0.3
0.00

... that I'd like to display like this...

10.45
.3
.00

What is the best way to do this besides using string functions? I'm already using BigDecimal's setScale() method to round the decimals, but now I'd like to get rid of leading zeros.

Any ideas?

Take a look at the DecimalFormat class. I did this for a class once.
