formatPriceNumber Need Help

[fastflyer]

Hi,

I've used formatPriceNumber before to find highs and low over a span of bars, but I guess I really don't understand formatPriceNumber for what I need now. Especially the way it works with a series ... I think.

I'm just trying to get the two digits to the left of the decimal place to print out next to it's horizontal line. In this case for a Bollinger Band.


Thanks For Your Help ... Again !


Heres my snippet of code

// fox 2
setPriceStudy(true);
var bInit = false;

debugClear() ;

function main() {

if ( bInit == false ) {
B60U = upperBB(60,3);
bInit = true;
}

B60Ug = B60U.getValue(0);
drawLineRelative(0, B60Ug, 15, B60Ug, PS_SOLID, 3, Color.RGB(250, 0, 0),5);


B60Uf = formatPriceNumber(B60Ug);

debugPrintln(" B60Uf =: " + B60Uf); // shows equal to null

B60Uz = B60Uf.length; // This line gets the error, has no properties

B60Uw = B60Uf.substring(B60Uz,(B60Uz-2));

drawTextRelative(15, B60Ug, B60Uw, Color.red,null,Text.VCENTER,"Calibri",10,1);

}

With regards to what the formatPriceNumber() function does see this article in the EFS KnowledgeBase
As to your script replace formatPriceNumber(B60Ug) with parseInt(B60Ug).toString() and it should do what you described [see the EFS KnowledgeBase for the description of the functions used]
BTW [as I have suggested to you also elsewhere] you should explicitly declare variables with a var statement as a matter of good programming practice

Thank You Again Alexis,

" [as I have suggested to you also elsewhere] " ... Doh !

And also let me repeat, you are our hero !

By the way, I did not receive an e mail alerting me to your reply this time. This is the first question I've submitted since the new " forum " has been instituted. If some one else has mentioned this, I'm a repeater.

Very Best Regards,
Glenn
