Hi list,
I get strange behaviour if and only if formatting the
value of zero. Am I something missing? Or what is the
point here?
-----
NSNumberFormatter nf = new NSNumberFormatter("__0.00");
nf.setLocalizesPattern(true);
nf.format(new Integer(0)); // formatted number is '0'
nf.setLocalizesPattern(false);
nf.format(new Integer(0)); // formatted number is ' 0.00'

The correct behaviour should be ' 0.00', or shouldnt it?
I think the correct answer is "that depends". The JavaDocs say:
Sets whether this NSNumberFormatter's pattern should be localized. When newDefault is true, NSNumberFormatter chooses the appropriate currency symbol, thousands separator, string for zero, and string for NaN based on locale By default, NSNumberFormatters are not localized.
The Locale (see setLocale) determines this string, not the pattern, when the formatter is localized.
I Have tried various Locales, but it behaves strange all the time. If it is a bug, is it possible to fix this in ERXNumberFormatter?
Maybe try one of the Java formatters. -- Chuck Hill Senior Consultant / VP DevelopmentPractical WebObjects - for developers who want to increase their overall knowledge of WebObjects or who are trying to solve specific problems.
