List delimiter

[Peter Holschbach]

Hi all,

where can I get the current selected list delimiter which is defined for
each country ?
There is nothing in CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat which seems to
be the right value.
Any idea ?

thanx
Peter

Peter,

What do you mean by list delimiter? AFAIK, there is no such thing.
Looking at the regional and language options, I dont see anything in there
either.

What are you referring to?

Hi Nicholas,

I'am not sure if I have used the right translation for it (German:
Listentrennzeichen). In Windows I can select the character which is use to
seperate two "words" in a list. For example "," for en-EN or ";" for de-DE.
Excel will use this character to separate it's columns for example
"5.1,2,6,9.2".

regards
Peter

Peter,

I understand what you mean, but I don't think windows, let alone .NET,
exposes anything like this. It has delimiters for separators in numbers,
but for general lists, there is nothing. I don't even know if there is a
standard for something like this.

Peter,

Glad you were able to find it. Thank you for teaching me something as
well, I didn't know such a thing existed. =)
