! - Assumes passed string holds ONLY digits and decimal point

L:Len LONG,AUTO
temp LONG,AUTO
u LONG,AUTO
v LONG,AUTO
Numerator LONG
Denominator LONG,AUTO
WholeNumber STRING(20)
CODE
p:Str = left(p:Str)
L:Len = len(clip(p:Str))
if ~L:Len then return(''). !blank string passed
temp = instring('.',p:Str,1,1) !find the decimal point - some countries may use a comma
instead...
if temp > 1 then WholeNumber = p:Str[1 : temp - 1]. ! get whole number
if temp and temp < L:Len
Numerator = p:Str[temp + 1 : L:Len] ! get decimal fraction digits for the numerator
end
if ~Numerator then return(clip(WholeNumber)). ! no decimal fraction to work with eg. '1.000'
Denominator = '1' & all('0',L:Len - temp) ! get the initial denominator
v = Numerator
u = Denominator
!get the greatest common divisor based on Euclid's algorithm
LOOP
u = u % v
if ~u then break.
temp = u
u = v
v = temp
END!loop
return(choose(WholeNumber <> 0,clip(WholeNumber) & ' ','') & Numerator/v & '/' & Denominator/v)
