In a MathGroup topic in Aug. 1999, the following question was posted without any response:
>>>>>>
In the documentation to the "Export" function it says that
"Machine-precision numbers are by default written to six-digit precision".
If I try:
z = {{Pi, 2 Pi}, {10, 100.}} // N
{{3.14159, 6.28319}, {10., 100.}}
Export["z1.dat", z]
I get the file "z1.dat":
3.141592653589793 6.283185307179586
10. 100.
This is not 6-digit precision. Is there a way to specify the precision that the
"Export" function should use?

I was wondering if there was a way to reduce the precision of the data I export to a *.dat, *.nb, or *.csv file so that my data files won't be so huge (I have data files that are 6-60MB's in size!).
Thank You,
Shawn
