Re: FVWM: Locales problem in a menu script
I see something new. When I start alsaplayer from a terminal, and issue the volume control command from another term, the program understand well both 0.5 and 0,5. But not when I start it from my menu.

I try this too: + I PipeRead echo SetEnv y $(( $[x]/100|bc-l )) but it work the same, I get only 1 or 0 in y. And it is even worse, because when I run $ echo 50/100|bc -l the shell output is always .5000 and that even when I use the french locales. Is it possible to get this script to work in any locale case? Dominique

It will if you use bash, because that doesn't support floating-point arithmetic. And it is even worse, because when I run $ echo 50/100|bc -l the shell output is always .5000 That's not the shell outputting that -- that's simply the result from the command bc. and that even when I use the french locales.

Though I haven't tested, this might comes from the fact that floating number are to be displayed with a comma instead of a dot with French locale. -- Julien Guertault
Re: FVWM: Locales problem in a menu script
Dominque As Thomas said, it is due to the output of BC. Tou should try to get the 'bc' command 'scale=4' in there somewhere. On 9/28/06, Dominique Michel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I see something new.

Alsaplayer want a comma with my french locale, and if it is a point, it accept only the leading 1 or 0, but nothing after. Another way will be to test the locale in use, and sed the value to change the point against a comma when needed. But I have no idea where I can test the locale. hmm, this sounds like your X and terminal locale are not consistant. The sed trick would probably work but would really be an ugly workaround. Maybe you can try forcing it during your call. I don't remember the way, but I think setting environment variables has been discussed already on this ML. -- Julien Guertault

I read something on the perl website when searching a solution for this script. The problem with the locales is at it is no one single normalisation but few normalisations. No matter, I find something that work when reading the files in /usr/share/fvwm-crystal. I done 2 sections in Mixer-alsamixer: DestroyFunc Mixer-VolumeFr AddToFunc Mixer-VolumeFr + I Exec exec $[A_Player] --volume $0 DestroyFunc Mixer-VolumeEn AddToFunc Mixer-VolumeEn + I Exec exec $[A_Player] --volume $0 DestroyMenu /VolumeFr AddToMenu /VolumeFr + 0 db% Mixer-VolumeFr '1,0' .. DestroyMenu /VolumeEn AddToMenu /VolumeEn + 0 db% Mixer-VolumeEn '1.0' .. And a test in Music-alsaplayer: Test (EnvMatch LANG fr_*.*) + I AddToMenu /Music '$[gt.Volume]' Popup /VolumeFr Test (!EnvMatch LANG fr_*.*) + I AddToMenu /Music '$[gt.Volume]' Popup /VolumeEn Thank you all anyway, it would have take more time without this discussion.
