With "Scilab" here, I mean Scilab 5.5.0. On 2014-08-02 22:30, Stefan Du Rietz wrote:
Thank you, Leon, it confirms that Scilab 5.4.1 handles it correctly.But when I have LC_NUMERIC="en_DK.utf8" which means decimal comma, see below, Scilab is in error: -->msprintf("%0.2f", %pi) ans = 3,14 -->msprintf("%0.2f", 3.1416) ans = 3,14 Compare the correct handling in Python: >>> "Pi with two decimals is %0.2f" % 3.1416 'Pi with two decimals is 3.14' Can any of the developers comment on this, or shall I report a bug?

And can you show its Bash output from $ locale When I was running Scilab 5.4.1 under Xubuntu 12.04, printf worked OK, but also in Bash. So the question is: Why do you now get different results in Scilab and Bash? And *the important point*: Why should a mathematics program handle inputs differently from outputs? If one should handle decimal separators differently depending on the local language, it should be done consistently (as in Bash, even if I don't like it)! One could of course have special functions or arguments to present numbers in specific local formats. Stefan On 2014-07-29 19:41, Leon Bevc wrote: Strange...
