Thread: integer format inconsistency?

Hi,

I'm having a quite fun issue with the data saved by TonicBars (may be the same for other plugins ).

On my EU client/french locale/windows system, Integer values are saved like:

Code:

["y"] = "INTEGER:973",

On my EU client/US locale/linux system, Integer values are saved like:

Code:

["y"] = 973,

Note that it's not the classic "comma bug".

Anyone have a clue why this difference?

PS: somewhat solved with the little awk script following, but I'm most interested at the inconsistency reason

Code:

!/INTEGER/ { print $0 }

/INTEGER/ {
        numbertmp=substr($0,index($0,"INTEGER:")+8)
        numbertmp=substr(numbertmp,1,index(numbertmp,"\"")-1)
        number=sprintf("%5f",numbertmp)
        gsub("\"INTEGER:[0-9.]*\"", number, $0)
        print $0
}

TonicBars checks the locale of the system, and changes the save format for french and german locales.
