Hi all,
It appears there have been some subtle changes to NSNumberFormatters
under 10.2.
I want to include a literal space in my format string, such that I can
right-justify some figures in a fixed-width font to achieve a display
like this:
135.00
69.35-
0.69
2099.00-
Note how I would like the minus-sign to appear on the right (for negative
numbers), or instead a space (for non-negative numbers).
Here are my format strings:
positive: "#,##0.00 "
negative: "#,##0.00-"
zero: "0.00"
This *used* to work under 10.1, but no longer since I have upgraded to
Jag: it seems the literal space in the format string is now ignored, and
the positive strings are fully right-justified. I have tried option-
space and shift-space to force a non-breaking space, but neither works.
How can I achieve this formatting under 10.2?
thanks,
-ben
