I am trying to trim a number string to remove non significant trailing
zeros. So for example
"123.450000000" = "123.45"
"1234500" = "1234500"
"12345.00" = "12345.0"
Try this pattern:
local stripped = fullNumber:match("^(%d*%.?0?%d-)0*$")
Where fullNumber is the string containing the number that you want to
remove trailing zeroes from.
I have a hesitation on that solution -- if there isn't a decimal
point, that's still going to truncate trailing zeroes, which is
clearly incorrect behavior.
