Basically NSString's floatValue and doubleValue methods only work when the numbers use the US style dot separator (as opposed to other locale separators such as a comma). If your NSString might contain non-US separators (or other formatting differences) you'll have to use NSScanner to do a localized scan of the NSString to extract the correct number. If you tried to use NSString's doubleValue on something like "12,34" you would get 12.000.

OK, thanks for confirming that. "US-style" is exactly what I need.

Regards
Markus
