How to prevent minus sign when using DecimalFormat?
java, number-formatting, sign
Solution
If you use "0.00###; 0.00###" (notice the space after the semicolon) the negative sign will not be displayed.
Problem
I am using a library that lets me configure the way numbers are formatted using a DecimalFormat pattern. I need to remove the minus symbol to show the absolute value of the numbers. I have tried both "0.00###;0.00###" and "0.00###;#" without success. I can choose any minus symbol (e.g. "0.00###;(0.00###)") but I can't have no sign at all? Thanks in advance for your suggestions, Tom
