Hi,

Is there a command to extract the number of (significant) digits for each of the elements in a list?
Thanks for helping me.

What is a 'significant digit' ?

How do you tell from just a number which of its digits are significant?  Doesn't that need an error analysis of the process by which you generated it?

You might want to look into evalr.
