How do I print NUMBERS with DDOC?

[Steve Johnson]

I have the line:

dpText hFile%, 1.25, 1., %DDOC_CENTER,"7"

and it prints on the page just fine. What I would like to is print the value of
a variable, say count%:

dpText hFile%, 1.25, 1., %DDOC_CENTER,count%

I gather dpText prints text, but what prints numbers?

Thanks,
Steve

You could do better than 'gather' if you read the help file shipped with ddoc P&P.

FORMAT$(count%) might be worth looking at....

Pleeeeese ..... I could do no better than gather since no help file included (I downloaded rather than had it shipped). I do have a set of tutorials that were downloaded. I went through them twice and could not find what I was looking for.

I found this works:

dpText hFile%, 1.25, 1., %DDOC_CENTER, str$(count%)

actually prints the number I was looking for.

%DDOC_CENTER, str$(count%)
actually prints the number I was looking for.

Actually the code using "STR$(number)" prints "leading space or minus sign" plus the decimal character representation of the number.

FORMAT$ (number) does not add any extra leading characters.

Probably no visual difference (when centering), but something to keep in mind (when left-justifying).
