Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1.     function Int2Float4(Value: int64): string;
  2.     begin  
  3.       result := Format('%.4n', [value*0.0001]);
  4.       result[Length(Result)-4] := '.';
  5.     end;

When ever you introduce anything that involves floating points you then run the risk of inexact values.

In this case multiply a number times 0.0001 etc obviously produces a float.

But nice shot with only two lines ;)

Wow, i really do not take note of your solution. Just amazing. I will use it!
It can be used for more or less decimals just adjunting the numbers -3 and 5!
Thanks a lot.

Ok, if you want to ignore locals..

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. Function FixStrFromInt64(Avalue:Int64):String;
  2. Begin
  3.   Result := IntToStr(AValue);
  4.   result :=  AddChar('0',Result, 5);
  5.   Insert('.',Result, Length(Result)-3);
  6. end;
  7.  
  8. procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
  9. begin
  10.   Caption :=FixStrFromInt64(123558900);
  11. end;                                      
  12.  

No MOD, NO DIV and it makes sure you have all your zeros

ok, but that looks overly complicated and bug prone..

Look at the last one I posted just for curiosity, three lines ! ;)

Upps!

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. Function FixStrFromInt64(Avalue:Int64):String;
  2. Begin
  3.   Result := IntToStr(AValue);
  4.   result :=  AddChar('0',Result, 5);
  5.   Insert('.',Result, Length(Result)-3);
  6. end;

This function fails with negative numbers...  %) %) %)

Cant you use the solution with the str() intrinsic?
str() does not use the locale and always produces a decimal point.

We have here "," as decimal separator, however quite often "." is needed in technical or scientific computing, for compatibility with international software or measuring instruments, therefore I know it.

Fixing is straightforward (not tested):
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. Function FixStrFromInt64(Avalue:Int64):String;
  2. Begin
  3.   Result := IntToStr(Abs(AValue));
  4.   result :=  AddChar('0',Result, 5);
  5.   Insert('.',Result, Length(Result)-3);
  6.   if AValue < 0 then begin
  7.     if Result[0] = '0' then
  8.       Result[0] := '-'
  9.     else
  10.       Result := '-' + Result;
  11.   end;
  12. end;

Index in Pascal "String" is not zero based, it goes from 1.[/code]

How to please them all ! :o

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. Function IntToFixPoint(AValue:Int64):String;
  2. Begin
  3.   Result := IntTostr(Abs(AValue));
  4.   result :=  AddChar('0',Result, 5);
  5.   Insert('.',Result, Length(Result)-3);
  6.   If AValue <0 THen Result := '-'+Result;
  7. end;                                        
  8.  

 If you would like I have a Currency Helper unit based on MS Excel ways of doing things.

I Solved it in the old and good way […]
Yeesh. The good ole way’d be to use colon-separated format specifiers, just as winni already demonstrated above.

[…] I want format an integer to a string, but neither format or currency fits what i need, or i am unable to find the way. […]
Why doesn’t currency fit? It’s just what the doctor ordered: It’s a 64-bit integer scaled by a factor of 10,000. The “trick” is just typecasting. However, (for some inexplicable reason) something like currency(n) does not work, instead:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. function imageIntegerAsCurrency(const n: int64): shortString;
  2. var
  3.         x: currency absolute n;
  4. begin
  5.         writeStr(imageIntegerAsCurrency, x:1:4);
  6. end;

yeah, that actually works well..

Guess that is a winner since it does not require the use of StrUtils and I kind of like using currency myself, I made a complete currency helper class just because I use fix point numbers in a few things where I don't want floating point issues.

just for fun  Div and Mod

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1.  
  2. {Global Vars}
  3. Var
  4.   APowers:Array[0..8] of Int64=(1,10,100,1000,10000,100000,1000000,10000000,100000000);
  5.   azeros:string='0000000000000000000000000';
  6.  
  7. ....
  8.  
  9. function int64toformattedstring(avalue:int64; APlaces:byte; ADecPoint:char):String;
  10. var asign:String='';
  11. begin
  12.   if avalue<0 then asign:='-';
  13.   result:=asign+inttostr(abs(avalue div APowers[APlaces]))+ADecPoint+leftstr(azeros,APlaces-length(inttostr(abs(avalue mod APowers[APlaces]))))+inttostr(abs(avalue mod APowers[APlaces]));
  14. end;                                            
  15.  

use like  int64toformattedstring(4521252125,8,'.');

The best way to get accurate information on the forum is to post something wrong and wait for corrections.
