I need to export large numbers to an ASCII text file, but as simple digits without powers of ten, e.g. I need to write 123456.789 to the file and not 1.23456789E10^5. It seems like such a simple thing, but I can't figure it out without some serious kludge. Is there a neat way of doing this?

Thanks!

Something like Export["test.txt", ToString@AccountingForm[123456123456.789, 20]] ? – b.gates.you.know.what Mar 19 '13 at 15:00
Thanks cormullion, Chris Degnan's longform[] does exactly this – user6463 Mar 19 '13 at 15:04
You can use NumberForm with the option ExponentFunction: NumberForm[123456.789, {20, 3}, ExponentFunction -> (Null &)] – VLC Mar 19 '13 at 15:30
