How to read regional setting from OS?
« Thread started on: Feb 21st, 2014, 11:20am » |

I wonder, if is a possible in the LBB to determine, if the operating system for decimal mark uses a decimal point or a decimal comma?
e.g:
12.3
or
12,3
Best regards

You can use the GetLocaleInfo() API to retrieve the Digit Grouping Symbol Decimal Separator symbol:
Code:
LOCALE.SDECIMAL = 14
Locale = 2048
LCType = LOCALE.SDECIMAL
result$ = GetLocaleInfo$(Locale, LCType)
print result$ : end
'=============================================================================================================
function GetLocaleInfo$(Locale, LCType)
lpLCData$ = space$(1024) + chr$(0)
cchData = len(lpLCData$)
calldll #kernel32, "GetLocaleInfoA", _
Locale as long, _
LCType as long, _
lpLCData$ as ptr, _
cchData as long, _
GetLocaleInfo as long
if GetLocaleInfo <> 0 then GetLocaleInfo$ = left$(lpLCData$, GetLocaleInfo - 1)
end function

To be pedantic it's the Decimal Separator symbol, but your code is correct. Thanks for that.

Thank you very much PreciseTiming and Richard. The algorithm, which is attached, works perfectly.
The algorithm I need for my program that records data from the charger to the make correct format csv files for Microsoft Excel, depending on the regional settings of the operating system.
