I don't know if there is already a way of doing this, but I attached a simple hack that lets you read commas as decimal points by executing something like this: (DecimalCommaNumberParser on: '3,14') nextNumber -> 3.14 I know this is not elegant, but it works. There seems to be some other places where the decimal point is hardcoded. Maybe we should make SqNumberParser take the decimal point as a parameter. Or have a preference to choose that. I don't know... Cheers Richo On Tue, Feb 22, 2011 at 5:53 PM, John Toohey <jt@parspro.com> wrote:
Without changing the OS locale, is there an easy was to have Pharo recognize a comma as a decimal point, i.e. '2,13' asNumber -> 2,13. I am receiving number from a Seaside app, in this format, and I need to convert them before storing them in Postgres. Currently '2,12' asNumber gives 2.
