I have come across a problem with converting a number to a string.

I am using Delphi 2.01 and the function str.

I tried str(mynumber,mystring)

and got it formatted as a numer with E etc.
So I tried str(mynumber:0:0,mystring) and got a proper string but with some odd results.

For example 123456789 converted to 123456792
and 23456789 became 23456788

Has anyone a way to turn a double into a proper string?

Try FloatToStr and FloatToStrF.

Try using MyString:=IntToStr(MyNumber)
and MyString:=FloatToStr(MyFloat)
and even FloatToStrFmt(MyFloat) and something
