Floating point string format

[Crashy]

Hello everybody.

I've got a nice issue right here. When I launch my game with it's own executable, everything runs fine.
If I run it within a wxwidget application, material parameters are wrong.

The cause? The floating point string format, which is "," in french system, and "." in us-en systems. So for example, sccanf will return either 0.05 or 0 when parsing this string
"param_named_auto psTime time 0.05", depending on which application I execute, the game or my wxwidget tool.

Of course I don't want to have multiple version of my material files, so I wonder if there is a way to force, at application startup, the format of the floating point in strings?

I also don't want to force users to change their system settings before running application.

Thanks.

If you're not running on Windows, I'm sure there's something similar.

Thank you, I'll try it out.

Edit: it works, thanks.

There are cross-platform ways to make it work : http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/std/locale/

Also, maybe read this tutorial from Boost.Locale that explain why it's flawed : http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/li ... cales.html
