Hey All,
If you know anything about i18n or english is not your first language
please read this:
A little while ago Everton noticed a problem w/ rlib formatting
numbers.. right now rlib can "commatize" a number.. but this doesn't
work out too well for other number systems or currency's
So... I went digging around and in C I found strfmon
#include <monetary.h>
ssize_t strfmon(char *s, size_t max, const char *format,
...);
Which looks like it will do the trick.... along w/ a rlib_set_locale
so I think I'm going to have to change around the structure of format=""
Currently you can do a "%s" or "%d" or.. all the fun date stuff
depending on weather your data is STRING, DATE or NUMBER
However.. the syntax for strfmon is kinda screwey....
sample format string: [%^=*#6n]
so for numbers I think I'm going to do this:
%d and %m
and only one can be in the format string.. %d for numbers.. and %m for
money
and %m would have %m and %!m where the ! means omit the currency
symbol... and %^m would me omit the grouping symbol.. ofcourse you could
do: %!^m
Sound good to everyone?
- Bob
