OK, thanks for clarifying. > Maybe it would be worth adding 'setlocale(LC_ALL, "")' before, so we > pick up the user's environment? I don't know, I'm not fond of setting things in the back of the user like this. I don't even know if we have other parts that are currently sensitive to the locale and which could be affected. Wouldn't it be better to simply add this piece of information to the doc instead so that users know if they need to specially tweak their locale ? Do not hesitate to tell me if I'm wrong on something, I always try to stay away from locale manipulation because I know how painful everything becomes once you start to break the fragile equilibrium! Thanks, Willy
