From: lolveley Date: 2009-04-30T20:54:17+09:00 Subject: (mandriva,eclipse) extract digits from fixnums hi, I want to do a basic thing but without succes: if a=1232, let nb_nb=4 (the number of digits) for i from 1 to nb_nb, I want the following results: i=1 => res=1 (first digit of a) and NOT the number 01 (with a zero in front of the 1) i=2 => res=2 (same thing) i=3 => res=3 i=4 => res=2 I tried a few things, like convert the number in array (it seems to keep the "0" in the result)... do you have a solution? olivier. ___________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
