I never cared much about localization but now I'm stuck with a program that works well with all locales but has to do some output without using the locale.
Since the output is a floating point I get e.g. 14,7 instead of 14.7 using the german locale. But I need it to output 14.7. So far it uses printf for output. Is there a printf-like-function that does not care about locales? Or a format string that is locale-independant? Or is the only solution to setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") before the printf and setlocale(LC_ALL, "de_DE") afterwards? Michael -- Michael Meskes | Go SF 49ers!
