You could probably use the java.util.Formatter class (which is Locale-aware) to handle these types of formatting problems.

Unfortunately there isn't a solution in Commons Validator for this - the JavaScript implementations are not Locale aware. Its something that would be good to do - the best way to keep it on the radar is to file a Jira ticket for it: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/validator/issue-tracking.html Niall > regards.. > > hasan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
