Even worse: living in Germany we are used to use the comma as decimal separator. Depending on which software vendor and application you get a hold on, their German version spits out data with a comma as separator or a decimal. So you can't really rely on the locale setting which might be wrong in one or the other case. I agree, that you don't see this happening in a locale using the dot as decimal separator. > However, the next version, soon to be available via git HEAD, will allow > the user to set a profile for each different format he/she uses. So > that should take care of your requirement. The QIF importer has some magic to detect which separators are used. Maybe you can take a look at it to see if you can use it. It requires to read the file twice though, but that shouldn't be a problem. -- Regards Thomas Baumgart GPG-FP: E55E D592 F45F 116B 8429 4F99 9C59 DB40 B75D D3BA ------------------------------------------------------------- Black holes are where God divided by zero. -------------------------------------------------------------
