format string to mmmmdd style

[dragon-long]

I need to formate decimal sting to mmmmdd style. mmmm is the integer . dd is exponent. 

such as: 0.5 =5000-4(5000e-4)

100.3=1003-1 (1003e-1)

40.3=4030-2(4030e-2)

which function should I use?

Help me understand.

do you want a numeric with a displayed value "5000e-4" (txet.text property) or a string of the characters [5,0,0,0,e,-,4]

I need to conver a number to command whose format is mmmmdd. mmmm is the interger. dd is the exponent value 

Finally I need 5000-1 which mean value is 500

Or 5000-2 which mean value is 50

Is it clear?

Do you want the 'command' as a string?
