Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Printing floats using scientific notation when > than X digi

Hi all,

I solved the issue by using %-7g to print floats and %-16g to print doubles. It chooses when using scientific notation and also adjusts the output to the left.

Hope this helps anyone!

Thanks,
Juanjo Martin

Hi team,

Do you think it would be possible to know at run-time when a float value exceeds X digits? I would like to show the value using scientific notation but not in all cases, and I am reaching a point where I think it is not possible.

Thanks,
Juanjo Martin
