Hi Surya, Thanks for poiting std::numpunct out. char_type thousands_sep() const; seems to be the one. However, how do I instruct boost::format to use that ? Thanks. 2010/6/9 Surya Kiran Gullapalli :

Hi

I read the documentation and looked for some examples but I was not able to come up with a format string to do this:

Format a double using desired grouping char and decimal separator.

So 1234567.89 should print 1,234,567.89

First, how can I specify the usage of the grouping char ? sprintf uses the ' char but it gave me invalid format string every time I tried to use it. Also how can I specify the grouping char and decimal separator ? By setting the locale ?

An example would be great.

       std::stringstream ss2;        ss2 << boost::format ("%|.2f|") % src.get_valor_total ();        String svalor_total = ss2.str ();

Thank you in advance for your attention, Mau. _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users

Does std::numpunct_byname help ? Surya _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
