As I pointed out in other thread, I implemented integral2str but it converts according to "C" locale. I'm going to add thousands_sep after every group of 3 digits for locales with appropriate grouping. I expect a slight performance degradation but it should be much faster then ostringstream anyway.
As I don't know anything about locales with other grouping, I can't say how efficient integral2str might be for those locales.
The culturally correct formating in (most of) India would be something like "12,34,56,789" grouping() returns a vector with .size()=2, [0]='\3', and [1]='\2'. I don't know how much that helps ... -- Martin Bonner Martin.Bonner@Pitechnology.com Pi Technology, Milton Hall, Ely Road, Milton, Cambridge, CB4 6WZ, ENGLAND Tel: +44 (0)1223 203894
