Handle localized radix characters on command line (1.93 KB, patch)
2014-05-29 13:24 UTC, Michael Catanzaro 		committed Details | Review

Description Nils 2014-05-28 21:21:29 UTC 
It appears that gcalccmd uses the format set in $LC_NUMERIC for its output, but doesn't parse input correctly when it uses a decimal separator other than '.':

$ echo $LC_NUMERIC
de_DE.UTF-8

$ gcalccmd
> 2,2
Error 1
> 2.2
22
> 22/10
2,2
>

nst@beta:~$ LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8 gcalccmd
> 2,2
22
> 2.2
2.2
> 22/10
2.2

Handle localized radix characters on command line

We were accounting for the locale's thousands separator, but not the
radix char (decimal point). For example:

export LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8
gnome-calculator --solve 2.000,5 - ,2

The result should be 2.000,3 not an error.
