Thanks for any insight! The numberFormat is a local property and is only used when a number gets converted to a string... put menge * preis into ergebnis -- ergebnis is a number answer ergebnis -- ergebnis is converted to a string using the numberFormat 0.00 and passed to 'answer'. In the last line 'answer mit_komma(ergebnis)' you are passing ergebnis (a number) to a function. In the function, that number is converted to a string using the default numberFormat (as it is local to handlers, and you have not set it) as you are using 'replace' on it. So, the 'issue' here is the locality of numberFormat.

Understanding numberformat
Hi friends, maybe I have a little understanding problem with numberformat. Looks like this is "temporary/fleeting"? Meanwhile I worked around this with the FORMAT() function, but would like to understand the problem. I have this button script: ### ## Neccessary function, since in most non-enlsih speaking countries like germany ## we use the COMMA as a decimal delimiter ## Neccessary for calculations ## tZahl = tNumber ## ohne_komma = without comma function ohne_komma tZahl replace "," with "." in tZahl return tZahl end ohne_komma ## mit_komma = with comma ## Neccessary for displaying numbers function mit_komma tZahl replace "." with "," in tZahl return tZahl end mit_komma on mouseUp pMouseButton put 10 into menge ## amount put "2,3" into preis ## price set the numberformat to 0.00 put ohne_komma(menge) into menge put ohne_komma(preis) into preis put menge * preis into ergebnis ## result ##!!! answer ergebnis ## -> 23.00 answer mit_komma(ergebnis) ## -> 23 ##!!! end mouseUp ### The last 2 lines of the mouseup handler are puzzling me, what do I not get? Thanks for any insight! It would be nice if LC would take these country specific differences into account in one of the next versions.
