Well, that can be resolved by reporting an error instead of assuming 0, if necessary -shrug- Also, the parsing either manages to parse, then the result is correct, or parsing fails, and then it would fail either way -shrug-. > > Even if the text is "3" ? > No. What if it is "3"? So, basically, staying consistent amongst locales is more important than greater flexibility with string parsing. Well, maybe. I personally don't like this conclusion. I really don't. Especially given that we don't solve the problem, we just bypass it, hoping for the best. / Tomas
