i had a go at it
thanks, I kinda had to go too, but no time... :(
yeah, my patch only works for rational numbers.
you know what, I think I asked this before on this list,
deja'vu
will have a look at the article / method you posted, claude.
are you going at it too? :)
by the way, I meant something like 1.75 becomes 7/4 and not 3/4, but that is easy to adapt on your patch
thanks
cheers

by the way, here is the method i used:
first, convert the decimal part to a fraction in the form of n/100000 next, find the highest common factor of n and 100000 (using the 'division method' like this: http://easycalculation.com/what-is-hcf.php )
then just divide n and 100000 by that factor.
actually, that means it's accurate to 6 decimal places, i guess. well...whatever :D
