    Hello, I'm having numbers and want them to be cut (and round) in the following way

    1 > 1 (or 1.0)
    1.2 > 1.2
    1.23 > 1.2
    1.25 > 1.3
    1.267 > 1.3

    as you see, the numbers can have a different amount of post-comma digits

    how to realize that with a Macro?

      Nearly impossible with a macro. Rounding down is not a problem. Rounding up is horrible for a number like 9999999.98 > 10000000.0

      I suggest to do that with 2 macros. The first one finds the numbers with at least 2 digits and round it down which is pretty easy. The second one is called by the first one when a round up is required.

      Macro "Find Numbers"

      InsertMode
      ColumnModeOff
      HexOff
      UnixReOff
      Find RegExp "[0-9]+.[0-9][0-9]"
      IfFound
      Key LEFT ARROW
      IfCharIs "01234"
      Find RegExp "[0-9]+"
      Replace ""
      Else
      Find RegExp "[0-9]+"
      Replace ""
      PlayMacro 1 "RoundUp"
      EndIf
      EndIf

      The second macro is a variant of my universal "CountUp" macro posted at counter ? It ignores the decimal point when moving the cursor left and evaluating the character.

      Macro "RoundUp"

      InsertMode
      "|"
      Key LEFT ARROW
      Key LEFT ARROW
      OverStrikeMode
      Loop
      IfCharIs "0"
      "1"
      ExitLoop
      EndIf
      IfCharIs "1"
      "2"
      ExitLoop
      EndIf
      IfCharIs "2"
      "3"
      ExitLoop
      EndIf
      IfCharIs "3"
      "4"
      ExitLoop
      EndIf
      IfCharIs "4"
      "5"
      ExitLoop
      EndIf
      IfCharIs "5"
      "6"
      ExitLoop
      EndIf
      IfCharIs "6"
      "7"
      ExitLoop
      EndIf
      IfCharIs "7"
      "8"
      ExitLoop
      EndIf
      IfCharIs "8"
      "9"
      ExitLoop
      EndIf
      IfCharIs "9"
      "0"
      Key LEFT ARROW
      IfColNum 1
      InsertMode
      "1"
      ExitLoop
      EndIf
      Key LEFT ARROW
      IfCharIs "."
      Key LEFT ARROW
      EndIf
      IfCharIs "0123456789"
      Else
      Key RIGHT ARROW
      InsertMode
      "1"
      ExitLoop
      EndIf
      EndIf
      EndLoop
      InsertMode
      Find "|"
      Replace ""

      The macro property Continue if a Find with Replace not found or Continue if search string not found should be checked for both macros.

      Add UnixReOn or PerlReOn (v12+ of UE) at the end of the first macro if you do not use UltraEdit style regular expressions by default - see search configuration. Macro command UnixReOff sets the regular expression option to UltraEdit style.

      Important: You have to create first the macro "RoundUp"! The macro name is case-sensitive in the PlayMacro command and the macro must already exist!
