Hello list,

I have a problem that I've solved with some logic and a few lines of code but I'm sure that there is a good regexp that can do the job. So I ask the regexp gurus of this list whether they have a solution.

        Let's start with this :

----------------------------------------------------
$number = 12345678.1234
$number =~ s/./,/; # change decimal point to French notation
spacify($number); # Do the magic
print "$number\n";
----------------------------------------------------

        and this should print :

12 345 678,1234

For the moment I have a (too) complicated sub spacify and I would like to simplify it to a regexp. Is this possible ? How ? Of course we can use this to output the number in English notation like '12,345,678.1234', same thing...

        Any clue ? I'm sure this is an old problem...

        Regards,
