Topic: Trauncate 0's where possible!

[Shade]

I am in the process of writing my own hatch pattern maker/editor lisp.
My current problem is the trailing 0 (zero's). I am trying to think of a way to have autolisp write the number of (to a max 4) decimal places when needed, otherwise truncate all trailing 0's.

ie.
this 0,0.0000,4.2000,12.0000,12.0000,0.0000,-4.2000,0.6000,-6.0000,0.0000,-1.2000
becomes 0,0,4.2,12,12,0,-4.2,.6,-6,0,-1.2

Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

That would be DIMZIN, wouldn't it? dimTzin is for tolerance values only.

Thanks for the help. I was just about to write some code to truncate the 0's.
