sahi + toLocaleString

jasonb

Hi All,

Does Sahi support toLocaleString? Testing my code in the controller I get unexpected results, and when I run the compiled script I get an "illegal radix at 0." error.

Thanks,
Jason

Hi jasonb,
Yes Sahi does support toLocaleString which is a javascript function.
Please have a look at the following script that works for me with SahiV4.4.

var d=new Date();
var n=d.toLocaleString();
_alert(n);

Please let me know your testscript and/or the screenshot of the problem you're facing. Also, what version of Sahi are you using?

Regards.

Hi Pratyush, thank you for the reply.

Version of sahi:

Version : V4.4
Build : 2013-04-29 (change log)

What I'm trying to do is take a string I've manipulated (stripped currency symbol and thousands separators) and turn it back into the original currency string. The reason I can't simply store two separate variables is that I add a random number to the manipluated string, and this value is then asserted at a later stage.

This is what's happening for me.

//Get current limit
$current_limit = _getText(_cell(xyz)); == USD 100,000.00

//Strip out the currency symbol and commas
$str = $current_limit.replace(/[a-z,\","]/gi, ""); == 100000.00

//Add amount to above to get new limit, and preserve the decimals
$new_limit = (+$str + 100.50).toFixed(2); == 100100.50

//Problem starts here
$x = Number($str).toLocaleString(); == 100,000

In my regional settings, a positive number shows as 123,456,789.00, so surely the end result should include decimals?

Bear in mind that js is very new for me, so I completely admit that I'm interpreting the toLocaleString function incorrectly, I just wanted to make sure that using it wasn't improper. Will wait for any advice on above before asking anything else.
