[mapserver-users] Labelling with real numbers

[worjak]

Hi,

I need to present numbers in a map that have the data type real (length=19,
Precision=8) by labeling a shapefile. It looks a kind off stupid with this
precision as the eg. 27.12 is represented as 27.12000000. So i'd like to
chop off some of the trailing zeros. I understand that mapserver can't do
this in current version.

So my question is - how can I do this in batch in pre processing? I receive
the shape files with this data definition as a daily dump, so manipulation
by hand is out off the question :(

Any suggestions are welcome.

Regards Jakob
