do you know the locale associated w/each currency value? where is the data coming from? and these are formatted strings? if you know the locale & these are formatted strings, try the LSparseCurrency method (though i'm not exactly sure what you're after). at a minimum you should get back something in a standardized format (en_US) that you should be able to more easily manipulate. > The problem is that decimal points and thousands separators can come in > two flavors: > > US: xxx,xxx.yy > > - or - > > Europe, SA: xxx.xxx,yy europe? no such locale. i think you'll find european locales will have a larger variety of currency/numeric formats than you think (eg, fr_FR is 123 456,00 â¬, fr_CH is SFr. 123'456.00). SA? is that south africa? or is that south america? again, no such locale. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:352775 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
