limiting decimal places

Hi I was looking for some help on a command or a simple way to trim a float (float as in a decimaled number) What i want to do is display something to the hundreths place like below.

example:
10.00

but what I get instead is a number like:
10.00000

i know that I could convert the float to a string then use something like llGetSubString(message, x, x); to cut off bits of it but I was looking for something more simplistic like an already built in command that would do the job.

There are no LSL functions available to do that.

yes, the only way to do it the string trick (although it doesn't need to be too painful.)

with rounding

vFltNumber = llRound( vFltNumber * 100 ) / 100.0;
vStrNumber = (string)vFltNumber;
integer vIdxPoint = 3;
vStrNumber = llDeleteSubString( vStrNumber,
                                 vIdxPoint += llSubStringIndex( vStrNumber, "." ),
                                 -1 );

insert string would've worked better, but LL decided not to support negative indexes with it so it becomes an annoyance

if you just want to remove trailing zeros..

if ((integer)vFltNumber == vFltNumber){
  vStrNumber = (string)((integer)vFltNumber);
}else{
  vStrNumber = (string)vFltNumber;
  integer vIdxLast;
  @Loop;
  if (llGetSubstring( vStrNumber, --vIdxLast, vIdxLast ) == "0" jump Loop;
  vStrNumber = llGetSubstring( vStrNumber, 0, vIdxLast );
}
