What do you mean when use `before'? With nested function calls like f(g(h(x)))
functions are executed in reversed order: first h, then g, then f. It is
obvious, but I used to make mistakes by putting substitute in a wrong place. In
either case, you should have put new substitute `before' old substitute (so
that
it will process submatch first), not `before' str2float.
\=printf('%.0f',str2float(substitute(substitute(submatch(0),'\.','','g'),',','.','')))
works for me (though it does not retain a dot). If you want to output with a
dot, either add another substitute after printf, or use other scripting
language
that has better locale support.
