Hi folks - I wonder if anybody has had to write an international application 
where both the 
input and output of numbers was subject to the regional number format. In other 
words, The 
american 1,234.56 should be displayed as 1.234,56 in the german locale. This 
isn't too hard 
with the NumberFormatter class but what about when you've got to accept user 
input in the 
form of numbers? Somebody might type something like the above number into a 
TextInput 
component and you need to parse it from a string back to a number taking into 
account the 
number format. 

Has anybody written some routines for this or seen anywhere that these may 
exist already? It 
would be a shame to have a spend several days or longer working on something 
this low 
level. Surely somebody else has conquered this problem before?

Ryan
