Hi guys,
I have to output data to be read by other mathematica-agnostic
programs - so I wanted to avoid exponential/scientific notation if
possible.
I wrote:
nf[x_] := NumberForm[N[x], Infinity, ExponentFunction -> (Null &)]
to convert my data, but I wanted to know if I could even avoid to
write everywhere:
Write[f,nf[a],nf[b],...]
and just let Math know that it has to use nf[] as a wrapper.
Unfortunately,
f = OpenWrite["test.dat", FormatType -> nf]
doesnt work:
FormatType::ftype: Value of option FormatType -> nf is not valid.
$printForms reports:
{InputForm, OutputForm, TextForm, CForm, FortranForm, MathMLForm, \
TeXForm, StandardForm, TraditionalForm}
any hint?
