stringbuffer_trim_trailing_zeroes()

int stringbuffer_trim_trailing_zeroes ( stringbuffer_t *  s )

extern

Trims zeroes off the end of the last number in the stringbuffer.

The number has to be the very last thing in the buffer. Only the last number will be trimmed. Returns the number of characters trimmed.

eg: 1.22000 -> 1.22 1.0 -> 1 0.0 -> 0
