Hi Jeremy,
I don't know.
I think it you use Filters and Formats to enter the format, i.e."£###,###" it
is saved somewhere in your Structure and may be inaccessible.
However you do have a Localization mechanism available, which works sort like
this (stop me if you've heard this one before):
toolbox, filters and format, |Money, Definition = ":20001;1"
then adjacent your structure in your resources folder:
resources:en.lproj:structureEN.xlf
<?xml utf-8>
<group id=20001>
<trans-unit id="1>
<source>£###,###<source>
<target>£###,###<target
...
|money should then work the same while the system is in EN=english
There is an AWESOME video for this here:
http://doc.4d.com/4Dv16/4D/16/XLIFF-and-translation.200-3246844.en.html
Then, Get Indexed String(20001;1) would give you "£###,###"
Or you could access your resources file with xml commands:
$path:=get 4d foler(resources folder)+folder
separator+"en.lproj"+folder separator...
hth,
