Hi Allen,

Previously, I dealt successfully with importing with a user's locale,
but now I'm hitting a problem.

I'm working on a patch to fix "[Bug 334995] CSV import Debit/Credit mode
only looks at one column, credits become 0.00".  I have the patch
working for my own locale - UK.  However, for other locales, I converted
my test file to use comma decimal and semi-colon separator.  This is
giving me grief.  What I'm trying to do is to convert a QString currency
amount to double, to be able to test if the amount is non-zero, as
against empty.

The basic problem came as a surprise, when I found that QString was not
locale-aware.  I'm getting caught between QLocale and KLocale.  I am
setting the country to, say, France.  However, QLocale still seems to be
set to UK.  Things seem to work if I set QLocale::default() to France,
but how do I know which country the user is in?

It looks like QLocale doesn't take account of KDE country change, but
retains the original system locale.  How can I get the KDE locale to
give a country that QLocale will accept?

Or, am I missing the simple answer?

Doesn't KLocale::readMoney(const QString &numStr, bool * ok) work for you?


Sadly, no.

In the importer, when importing a comma symbol file, the comma becomes a dot.

As a quick test, if I do -

bool OK;
      KLocale* loc = KGlobal::locale();
      QString str1 = "123.45";
      QString str2 = "123,45";
qDebug()<<"QIFProc"<<(QString::number(loc->readMoney(str1, &OK), 'f', 2))<<loc->country()<<loc->countryCodeToName(loc->country());

qDebug()<<"QIFProc"<<loc->readMoney(str2)<<loc->country()<<loc->countryCodeToName(loc->country());

the first fails, and the second gives -

QIFProc "123.45" "fr" "France".

So, it's picking up my current locale of France, but converts to UK (my normal locale) for some reason.

I can't see what I'm doing wrongly.  Help!

Allan
