storing java float/double as a string

[veremue]

I want to store a float/double as String. I have an input file with a column with float values i.e. have the form 1.4E15. I want to store these values as Strings. Here is my code which is resulting in storing 1.4E15 not the value as a String.

[code=java]

String accNumber="";//declaring and initialisation

//open file and read line then store the column in accNumber
//the line read has been stored into an array String split[]

accNumber=split[2].trim();

//how do I make sure it does not store 1.4E15[/code]

Look at this Code.

[code=java]
double d = 1.4E15;
BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal(d);
System.out.prin tln(bd.toPlainS tring());
[/code]
