Removing the Currency Symbole form the Currency Number Format

[Gajjar Hemant Kumar Dashrathlal]

Hi Gan,

I had a small problem,

For the I18n of my application,  I need to format the monitory values
depending on the Locale.

Here is the simple code I am using.

double myNumber = -1234.56;
 DecimalFormat form = new DecimalFormat();

  // just for fun, we print out a number with the locale number, currency
  // and percent format for each locale we can.

  FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("testjava.out");

Try{
       fw.write("\n FORMAT");
       for (int i = 0; i < locales.length; i++ )
       {

           if (locales[i].getCountry().length() == 0) {
           // skip language-only
                   continue;
           }

                                form =
(DecimalFormat)NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locales[i]);
                                DecimalFormatSymbols df =
form.getDecimalFormatSymbols();

                                df.setCurrencySymbol("");

                                df.setInternationalCurrencySymbol("");


                                df.setMonetaryDecimalSeparator('D');
                                form.setDecimalFormatSymbols(df);
                                fw.write("\t Decimal char: "+
form.getDecimalFormatSymbols().getCurrencySymbol()+"\t: " + "\t -> "+
form.format(myNumber));
 }
            fw.close();
}
catch(Exception ex){}


My problem is As follow.

Above returns me as follow:

For Example :

For Locale    Arabic (United Arab Emirates)     it returns me      ?.?.?
1,234D56- but I don't need      ?.?.? , I believe it is a Currency Symbol,
I need only 1,234D56-

If any body has the solution then please, help me.

Thanks for your time,

Hemant
