[Glass] Is there a way to print a Float with all decimals but without exponential notation?

[Mariano Martinez Peck]

Hi guys.

I am exporting some data to a CSV file and I am finding some differences
with Pharo. For my use-case, I would like to:

- Print all decimals of the float
- do not round
- do not show exponential notation

#greaseString (or doing self printOn: strm base: 10.) rounds the string.
For example:

19896.800000000003 greaseString
-> '19896.8'

while in Pharo I get (what I want)

19896.800000000003 greaseString
-> '19896.800000000003'


#asStringUsingFormat: allows me to NOT use exponential notion..but I am
forced to define the first and second parameter as well :(

#asString shows me all decimals but it uses the exponential notion:

19896.800000000003 asString
-> '1.9896800000000003E+04'


So what I need is a kind of #asString but not using exponential notion. Is
that possible?


Thanks in advance,
