Universal parsing for locale-formatted strings #56

Open awilkins opened 9 years ago

awilkins commented 9 years ago

As brought up in #55 there are a number of places in the code where locale-formatted strings are being parsed or checked with code that assumes the decimal separator is a dot. Some locales use a comma.

This code needs reviewing and fixing.

Please note that I don't presently have the time to do a systematic review of this, but I do think one is needed.

Essentially

All locations where there is a floating point integer string presented to the user should be written and parsed in the user locale
All other locations where a floating point integer string is processed should use the universal format (dot)
