Hi,

I want to create parameters for a do script like :
set ar_list to " "& co05_w
do shell script "perl " & p_path & p_name & ar_list

The problem is the original value for co05_w is : 103.1822047245
As soon as I put the value in the string it turns to 103,1822047245

The decimal separating point turns to a: ,

Has this something to do with the german language settings ?
How can I avoid this.

Please help

Gvtz Verdieck

It has everything to do with the German language settings, where the decimal separator is designated to be a comma.

You can either change the setting for the decimal separator in the "Numbers" tab of the International preferences panel or you could use AppleScript's text item delimiters to change the commas to decimal points after you convert the value from a number to a string.
