Trailing Zeros

[Jim Ault]

Function format(specification string, value)

Returns a formatted string that has been transformed according to the rules
of the C "printf()" function.
Make note of that this is predicated on a PRINT function, which means it is
geared to padding the result with spaces if needed, thus the charLength
determines the total characters returned in order to build print outs.

In Rev, it is easy to simply
put format("%0.2f",1256.7/3.3) = round, no leading spaces, add trailing 0's
= '380.82'

put format("%0.10f",1256.7/3.3) = round, no leading spaces, add trailing 0's
= '380.8181818182'

put format("%40.10f",1256.7/3.3) = round, add trailing 0's, and spaces to
make a total of 40 chars
= '                          380.8181818182'

put format("%40.2f",1200/3) = round, add trailing 0's, and spaces to make a
total of 40 chars
= '                                  400.00'

put format("%40.10f",1200/3) = round, add trailing 0's, and spaces to make a
total of 40 chars
= '                          400.0000000000'

Hope this helps,
