lc_parse_number (public)
lc_parse_number num locale [ integer_only_p ]
Defined in packages/acs-lang/tcl/localization-procs.tcl
Converts a number to its canonical representation by stripping everything but the decimal separator and trimming left 0's so it won't be octal. It can process the following types of numbers:
The valid separators are taken from the given locale. Does not handle localized signed numbers in this version. The sign may only be placed before the number (with/without whitespace). Also allows the empty string, returning same.
- Just digits (allows leading zeros).
- Digits with a valid thousands separator, used consistently (leading zeros not allowed)
- Either of the above with a decimal separator plus optional digits after the decimal marker
- Parameters:
- num (required)
- Localized number
- locale (required)
- Locale
- integer_only_p (optional, defaults to
"0")- True if only integers returned
- Returns:
- Canonical form of the number
- Error:
- If unsupported locale or not a number
- Testcases:
- lang_test__lc_procs
