Very nice, _but_ - it's quite restricted to currencies, which is of course an obvious application of numeric formatting, but by far not the only one! - this approach opens another way of numeric formatting and is in no way compatible with the common numeric formatting syntax of other languages/spreadsheets etc. - It's a solution for C, not for C++. However, I think I like the alignment feature; I'm just not sure at the moment if it's the trouble... Stefan
