conversion of trailing digits

[Burga1]

Greetings,

I'm trying to convert the trailing digits of an instrument price into a 1-100% scale. For example:

if EUR/USD price = 1.55673, I'd like to convert to 67.3
price = 1.5537, I'd like to convert to 37
if USD/JPY price = 101.54, I'd like to convert to 54
price = 101.982, I'd like to convert to 98.2
etc, etc...

Not sure of the commands used to accomplish this...Any help appreciated.

Likely just do some math operations.

Yes I can multiply by 1000 or 100 or whatever is required but how am I to rid of the "leading" digits? What are the commands to "cut off" the ending digits that I require?

Please refer to the MSDN docs for this. It won't be a straight forward one step solution. You will need to manipulate the math on this several times.

Thank you. Does anybody know the name of this procedure? I need a place to start a search from but I don't have a guess as to what this type of operation is called?

Its really just math operations.

the Math class may provide methods to help in this area.

If you have trouble with the math approach, you could aslo try string manipulation. Look up the string class for methods that can help you.

Thanks, strings seems a better approach.
