Hi, I am try to write a formated number into a file. For example, Writing
6.661999999999944*10^-6 as 6.66200E-06 .
If I use ScientificForm and can see the format 6.66200E-06 in mathematica,
however when i am trying to write it into a file like the what i see in
mathematica,
the I see ScientificForm instead of the result i desired.
How to tackle this problem?
