Binding Long property to String with replacement value

I've binded a Text property with Long Property

 text.textProperty().bind(newValue.referenceNumberProperty().asString());

There is the simply way to replace values <= 0 to empty String ?. I know that asString() method can take a parameter but I dont know how use it. Could you help me ?

As far as the use of the parameter of the asString method is concerned: It's meaning is explained in the javadoc for Formatter

There is no way to achieve the desired effect using a asString method alone. You could solve your problem by binding to

Bindings.when(newValue.referenceNumberProperty().greaterThan(0))
        .then(newValue.referenceNumberProperty().asString())
        .otherwise("")

or to

Bindings.createStringBinding(() -> {
   long val = newValue.getReferenceNumber();
   return val > 0 ? Long.toString(val) : "";
}, newValue.referenceNumberProperty())

though.
