Substring of a double converted to string

[lalaura]

Hello,

in my tMap (Talend Open Studio) I need, starting from a Double, to convert the absolute value to String, and then to extract the first digit.

I've tried many combinations, including Mathematical.ABS(myMapping.price).toString(); and then substring

but none of them is working.

Any help?

TIA

Laura
