[Kmymoney-devel] Another locale puzzle - CSV Importer

[Chris]

Shouldnt you be using the locale functions?
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/locale/

I haven't personally used them, so sorry no experience I can share.

if you write your own function to do the conversion don't assume the number 
has a decimal portion it may be rounded to whole numbers only.
