Hello,

I want to take a number with a German format in a cell (for instance 1.234,56) and convert it to a number with a US format (for instance 1,234.56).

The program shown below works fine when there are just numbers in the program, but if there is text, it also puts a "." before the number being converted. I'm not sure why.

Thanks in advance for any hints or any suggestions on changing the code.

Code:
SendInput, ^x
Clipwait
segment= %clipboard%
new:=regexreplace(segment, "(\d*)[\, ](\d{1,2})", "$1.$2")
new:=regexreplace(new, "(\d*)[\. ](\d\d\d)", "$1,$2")
clipboard=%new%
SendInput, ^v

If it's just flipping comma and period,

Quote:
StringReplace, String, String, ., `, ;not sure if you need escape char`
StringReplace, String, String, `, . ;again not sure if you need escape char


Oh right, you could also use global variables, I'm not sure if A_period exists, but,

Quote:
StringReplace, String, String, ., %A_comma%
StringReplace, String, String, `, . ;again not sure if you need escape char

The star matches zero of more so that's probably part of the problem with the leading period, try this:

Code:
SendInput, ^x
Clipwait
segment= %clipboard%
new:=regexreplace(segment, "(\d+)[\, ](\d{1,2})", "$1.$2")
new:=regexreplace(new, "(\d+)[\. ](\d\d\d)", "$1,$2")
clipboard=%new%
SendInput, ^v
