Converting string to double: NSString or NSScanner



Hello List,

I'm having troubles deciphering the documentation. I have doubles stored in a text file which always use the dot "." as decimal separator. When converting the strings to doubles the conversion to be locale independent. The NSString:doubleValue documentation says:

> This method uses formatting information stored in the non-localized value;
> use an NSScanner object for localized scanning of numeric values from a string.


"Formatting information stored in the non-localized value" is really a little cryptic - what formatting information and where is the non- localized value stored. The part about NSScanner indicates that NSString:doubleValue is what I want, is it?

Regards
Markus
