submatch() has absolutely nothing to do with decimal separators. Absolutely nothing. submatch() only gets a string which matched some backreference in a regular expression. Looking at your examples, you're really asking if Vim's floating-point calculations can use a comma as a decimal separator (it can't, see :help floating-point-format) and a decimal as a thousands separator (I don't think I know of ANY program that understands thousands separators, whether they be a '.' or a ','; I'm pretty sure Vim cannot recognize them either). -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
