Re: Help tracking down a shell problem

Here's what I discovered. If I put "en_US.UTF-8" into $LANG before executing the locale LC_NUMERIC command, I get the correct output, at least for my computer. Same for LC_MONETARY and LC_TIME. The question is, how do I get the correct setting for $LANG from the OS without hard coding it, as I'm

Re: Help tracking down a shell problem

Thanks Mark. None of the files Andre mentioned show up with this command, lots of other .xxx files though. The fact that you get back sensible results when using shell in LC makes me think this has something to do with shell commands on OS X, especially that weird 127 thing. Hopefully the suppor

Re: Help tracking down a shell problem
