[hpsdr] PowerSDR Radio Astronomy

[Tom McDermott]

Hi Joe  - I tripped on this in the TAPR VNA project.

A CSV  comma separated variable file in Europe-format does not use commas
to separate variables !!!
It uses semi-colons because commas are used as the decimal-point
character.  Alternatively you can
enclose each numeric variable in double-quotes and separate with commas.

In C++ .NET the system will create a default CultureInfo based on the
locale under which the Windows OS was installed.
You can over-ride the default CultureInfo by creating a specific type.

In VS2008 syntax:

CultureInfo^ CI = gcnew CultureInfo("en-us");

Then use CI in all places where you format a variable into a string for
printing to a file ...

 ... variable.ToString(CI)  ...
