Hallo,
Below I generate a table of numbers, which I round to get numbers with 2
decimals precision. I want to export them in a ascii file. In my output
file I get some numbers like 1.4000000000000001 instead of simply 1.4.
Where does this extra 0.0000000000000001 come from? Is this a bug? How can
I get rid of it without editing my file.?
Thanks for your help

Round[100*Table[{i,i/5,i/3},{i,1,20}]]/100.;
Export["c:\\temp\\table.txt",%,"Table"]
When I open table.txt I see:
1. 0.2 0.33
2. 0.4 0.67
3. 0.6 1.
4. 0.8 1.33
5. 1. 1.67
