OK, I think I was going about this backwards. If I let Times[x, Power[y, -1]] be the standard representation for divide, then I can do ToExpression[StringReplace[ ], "^"->"myPower"] and end up with either x/y or x myPower[y, -1].
Thanks. We have looked at that documentation, but it is rather out of date and not as useful as one might hope. We will make it work one way or another. We already have it working on some machines, but we were just hoping for a simpler or more...
Many, many thanks!! I never would have suspected.
Sigh. The posting programming "translated" all my MathML examples into Mathematica even though I put them in quotes and the preview showed them correctly. The issue is with "fences" and Mathematica interpreting them as square brackets after letters...
Thanks for the helpful explanation that tells me where to look for other possible problem code.
Thanks, but NumberForm also only affects the print form. I think this may actually do what I want! N[Rationalize[Round[2.40000004, .01]]]] In[12]:= InputForm[N[Rationalize[Round[2.400004, .1]]]] Out[12]//InputForm= 2.4
