crystal reports: cast number to string

I have the following return in a function in Crystal Reports:



numberVar InitWt ;

cstr("*" & cstr(InitWt))



The problem is that its showing the InitWt part with a comma and 2 decimal places like this: * 10,000.00

How do I fix this so it just shows: * 10000 ?

Have you tried first sending the numeric value to the toText() method...which casts it into string. Then you can strip out any invalid characters such as "," and periods.
