Format BigDecimal or Number without Decimal Separator

Question

Hi i want to print a number with decimal values but without using decimal separator. Ex: i have this 275.1234 but i want this 027512 (4 Digit 2 Decimal, all without separator) i tried two approaches: ``` DecimalFormat format = new DecimalFormat("0000.00"); DecimalFormatSymbols custom=new DecimalFormatSymbols(); custom.setDecimalSeparator('\u0000'); format.setDecimalFormatSymbols(custom); System.out.println(format.format(new BigDecimal("275.1234"))); ``` This print me: 0275 12 (i knew i can remove the space) Second Approach: ``` String[] value = new BigDecimal("275.1234").toString().split("\."); System.out.println(value[0] + value[1].substring(0,2)); ``` This print me: 27512 (Bad I need That The First 4 digits are filled with 0 if the number in question does not have integer 4 digits) ``` Ex: 1,1234 ==> 000112 Ex: 10,5678 ==> 001056 Ex: 100,7877 ==> 010078 ``` Basically i want more elegant solution to this problem, any ideas? Thanks Ignacio

Accepted Answer

How about multiplying by 100.

```
String text = String.format("%06.0f", Double.parseDouble("275.1234")*100);
```

or

```
String text = String.format("%06.0f", 275.1234 * 100);
```

or

```
String text = String.format("%06.0f", BigDecimal.valueOf(275.1234).doubleValue() * 100);
```

sets `text` to

```
027512
```

If you want to truncate rather than round you can do

```
String text = String.format("%06d", (long) (1234.5678 * 100));
```

prints

```
123456
```
