If your numbers are integers, you can convert them to symbols with [makefilename %d] and add them to a text file, e.g. with [text set].

If the numbers are floats, you can use [makefilename %f]. Unlike %g, the %f specifier prevents the use of scientific notation. See also https://stackoverflow.com/a/5913115/6063908.

Works for me (tm).

hi,

i'm struggling with the way Pd handles numbers bigger then 999999.

i have an array with thousands of numbers, which i write to a file to analyse them.

however, as soon as a number is bigger then 999999 i get the abbreviated notation and am loosing the lower digits.

in Pd i can make a big number showing all digits by transforming it into a symbol, e.g. with makefilename.

but a thus created text-file does not work in a spreadsheet.

probably there's a way to overcome this seemingly limitation, but i've not found it yet.

anybody with a hint?

rolf
