Formats

FlowScript supports converting numeric values and date times to string with a provided format string. This is performed with the format function.

Numeric values

"C"	A currency value.*	"C" (en-US) "C" (sv-SE)	"$1,234.57" "1.234,57 kr"
"F"	Integral and decimal digits with optional negative sign.*	"F" (en-US) "F" (de-DE)	"1234.57" "1234,57"
"Fn" (ex "F1")	Same as "F" with n precision (Number of decimal digits.)*	"F1" (en-US) "F3" (de-DE)	"1234.6" "1234,567"
"N"	Integral and decimal digits, group separators, and a decimal separator with optional negative sign.*	"N" (en-US) "N" (ru-RU)	"1,234.57" "1 234,57"
"Nn" (ex "N1")	Same as "N" with n precision (Number of decimal digits.)*	"N1" (en-US) "N3" (ru-RU)	"1,234.6" "1 234,567"

* The result is formatted based on the locale of the computer where the Flow Engine is executing. Some FlowScript functions support overriding the locale.
