last four numbers of close to variable

[darkspeed]

I need to put the last four numbers of Close[0] into the variable MINI_CLOSE.

example:

1455.25 Close[0] would give me MINI_CLOSE = 55.25

Think it needs to be a string and split but i cant get it to work

any ideas? Thanks!!

I think it will be

double MINI_CLOSE = 0;

string somevalue = Double.ToString(Close[0]);

but not sure how to split it up from there

[darkspeed]

how about :

string data= Close[0];
data.Remove(0,2);

or

string data= Close[0];
data.Substring(2);

[darkspeed]

// ok this is where i am so far


string CLOSE_VALUE_STR = Convert.ToString(Close[0]);

var CLOSE_VALUE_HUNDREDS_STR = CLOSE_VALUE_STR.Remove(2);

double CLOSE_VALUE_HUNDREDS = Double.Parse(CLOSE_VALUE_HUNDREDS_STR);

Print(CLOSE_VALUE_HUNDREDS);

var CLOSE_VALUE_ONES_STR = CLOSE_VALUE_STR.Substring(2, 5);

double CLOSE_VALUE_ONES = Double.Parse(CLOSE_VALUE_ONES_STR);

Print(CLOSE_VALUE_ONES);


// and i get the results i wanted from a close of 1453.25

14
53.25

but i also get an error " error on calling ' onbarupdate' method for indicator on bar 1: you are accessing an index with a value that is invalid since its out of range"


any ideas?

this is what i get from catch:

9/18/2012 16:32:00 System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index and length must refer to a location within the string.
Parameter name: length
at System.String.InternalSubStringWithChecks(Int32 startIndex, Int32 length, Boolean fAlwaysCopy)
at NinjaTrader.Indicator.TEST_CODE.OnBarUpdate()

I think it is length of string

when the close is say 1400.00 i think the string is 1400 so it is only 4 characters long rather than 7 counting the decimal...

how do i fix that?

THanks

// this is the only way i could get it to work.. there must be a better way..

Print("");
Print("");
Print(Close[0] + "------------------------------------");

string CLOSE_VALUE_STR = Convert.ToString(Close[0] + .01); // add 0.01 to preserve the decimal places

// Print (CLOSE_VALUE_STR);

int CLOSE_VALUE_STR_LENGTH = CLOSE_VALUE_STR.Length;

// Print(CLOSE_VALUE_STR_LENGTH);

// Print ("---" +CLOSE_VALUE_STR + "---");

var CLOSE_VALUE_HUNDREDS_STR = CLOSE_VALUE_STR.Remove(2);

double CLOSE_VALUE_HUNDREDS = Double.Parse(CLOSE_VALUE_HUNDREDS_STR);

Print(CLOSE_VALUE_HUNDREDS);

var CLOSE_VALUE_ONES_STR = CLOSE_VALUE_STR.Substring(2, 5);

double CLOSE_VALUE_ONES = (Double.Parse(CLOSE_VALUE_ONES_STR) - 0.01); // remove the 0.01

Print(CLOSE_VALUE_ONES);

will

round to whole # ( 1400.00 /100 ) = 14

(14 * 100 ) - 1400.00 = 00.00 ?



where 1400.00 is the input #

so if x = 1400.00

round to whole # ( x /100 ) = 14

(14 * 100 ) - x = 00.00 ?

// this is the only way i could get it to work.. there must be a better way..

Print("");
Print("");
Print(Close[0] + "------------------------------------");

string CLOSE_VALUE_STR = Convert.ToString(Close[0] + .01); // add 0.01 to preserve the decimal places

// Print (CLOSE_VALUE_STR);

int CLOSE_VALUE_STR_LENGTH = CLOSE_VALUE_STR.Length;

// Print(CLOSE_VALUE_STR_LENGTH);

// Print ("---" +CLOSE_VALUE_STR + "---");

var CLOSE_VALUE_HUNDREDS_STR = CLOSE_VALUE_STR.Remove(2);

double CLOSE_VALUE_HUNDREDS = Double.Parse(CLOSE_VALUE_HUNDREDS_STR);

Print(CLOSE_VALUE_HUNDREDS);

var CLOSE_VALUE_ONES_STR = CLOSE_VALUE_STR.Substring(2, 5);
