Guy, If you use a format specifier of "%.;" to format your code prior to sending it out, you wont have this issue. If you don't use any format, the system default will be used. and different systems will have different defaults. To strictly control this format to be the same everywhere, add the format identifier. Refer to the "localization code" entry in the Help reference... HTH Rick M. Lockheed Martin Corp.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Holland, Guy Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 12:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Language Independence on Serial Output of "." I have an application that outputs a string with numbers via the serial port. Ex. "SG1.23,4.56,7.89". I developed the application in English but when the application was installed onto a Non-English say Holland language, the output string turns into "SG1,23,4,56,7,89". The periods are replaced with commas. I believe it might happen with all languages that use commas ($1,00) rather than periods ($1.00). How can I get around this problem so that my application can be language independent? TIA, Guy Holland Intralase Corp.
