Hi, guys. I need to math.round all dimensions. For example:

"350,000 mm" -> "350 mm",

"420,001 mm" -> "420 mm"

"419.97 mm" -> "420 mm"

and so on. All in one script.

The trick is I dont know how to play with numbers and characters at the same time, I only know how to math.round numbers.

Thank you.

there are various different ways to solve that, here's one of them

var s_number = "419.97 mm";
var delimeter = ' ';
var a_number = s_number.split(delimeter);
$.writeln(Math.round(a_number[0]) + delimeter + a_number[1]);

Thanks, Carlos. There is only one problem - script doesnt work with numbers with commas. I solved it by converting all commas to periods first, than converting back to commas. How to solve it any other way?

convert commas to periods (if any) only once, since you're getting rid of the decimals

this version works with both commas & periods

var s_number = "419,97 mm";
var delimeter = ' ';
var a_number = s_number.split(delimeter);
$.writeln(Math.round(a_number[0].replace(',','.')) + delimeter + a_number[1]);
