Formating scientific notation

Question

Hi,
I'm working with a small program where at one point a number, in scientific notation will need to be formated into a string containing plane numbers.
I use the code below, and it works in up to large numbers where the formatting doesen't do aything at all.
String InputValue = "7,584995286E7";
NumberFormat format = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance();
Number number = format.parse(InputValue);
String OutputValue = number.toString();
System.out.println(OutputValue);The example above gives the result input back as output value: 7.584995286E7
With the value 7,584995286E6 the result is: 7584995.286 just as I want it to work.
What can I do to solve this?
All help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi ,
Below is the code posted by you.
String InputValue = "7,584995286E7";
NumberFormat format = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance();
Number number = format.parse(InputValue);
String OutputValue = number.toString();
System.out.println(OutputValue);Add these two methods, and you will get the code working as you needed.
format .setMaximumFractionDigits(3)
format .setMinimumFractionDigits(3);
