= Round =

Sometimes the round function does not perform its job. For instance, in this case round does not change anything to the value of the local toto.

. local toto = 9.950000000000001 . di "`toto'" 9.950000000000001 . local toto2 = round(`toto',.01) . di "`toto2'" 9.950000000000001

The temporary solution to this problem is to treat toto as a string and to use regexm to round it :

. local toto = 9.950000000000001 . di "`toto'" 9.950000000000001 . if regexm("`toto'","([0-9].[0-9][0-9])"){ .        local toto = regexs(1) .        di "`toto'" 9.95 .        }
