All the digits are there. Use InputForm[] to see what the number really is. By default, Mathematica just shows 6 digits of a real number (when it can). In[1]:= ToExpression["109266.75"] Out[1]= 109267. In[2]:= InputForm[%] Out[2]//InputForm= 109266.75 george woodrow On Jun 6, 2012, at 4:53 AM, fcaleyo wrote: > Hi guys, I've got a problem with ToExpression[]. > It seems to round large real numbers off, e.g. > ToExpression["109266.75"] returns 109267., still a real, yet not exactly what the original string meant. > Any idea to solve this? > Many thanks > fcaleyo > > > >
