Splitting price

[thestranger]

Hi

An unusual request but i'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions or can point me in the right direction.

I have a price for TY e.g. 100.235. I want to change the last 3 digits which are listed as a fraction into a decimal.

My idea is to initially turn the price into a variable e.g. entryPrice.

Then use entryPrice.toFixed(0) to get the whole number 100.

Now I am stuck how do I grab the 3 numbers after the decimal point?

If I could get this number I know how to manipulate the data into a decimal format.

Thanks

Enclosed below is a code example showing one way to do it.
For information on the String Object and its methods see this article in the EFS KnowledgeBase
Alex

var a = 100.235;
    
    var b = a.toString();//convert the variable a to a string
    var c = b.indexOf(".")//find the index value of the decimal separator
    var d = b.substr(c+1,3);//creates new string of 3 characters starting from the index 
                            //after that of the decimal separator) 

    debugPrintln(d);//returns 235

You are most welcome.
Enclosed below is another way of doing it using this time the split method of the String Object.
An advantage to this method is that you also have the integer portion (ie 100 in your example) readily available as c[0] (ie the first element of the array) without having to use entryPrice.toFixed(0).

var a = 100.235;
    
    var b = a.toString();//convert the variable a to a string
    var c = b.split(".")//split the string at the dot (this converts it to an array) 
    var d = c[1];//assign to d the second element of the array which represents the 
                 //decimal portion of the number
    
    debugPrintln(d);//returns 235
