MSXML in Europe

[jack]

Hello,

My client is experiencing an issue on European computers related to
MSXML3.dll. The issue is that the app is erroring when it does an xPath
query to an xml file. On of the errors is:

Expected token ']' found ','.
//record[@sh_ubound_e = 150-->,<--9 and @table = "Table 2.3.7.3 (e)"]

My guess is that it has something to do with a comma used as the decimal
placeholder in Europe because all the error messages refer to the comma in
the query string.

Anyone have any ideas?

This question would fit better into microsoft.public.xml. However, why not
just use "." instead of "," even on European systems? I doubt that XPath
supports custom floating point literal formats inside queries.

Dunno if this is any use to you.... but.
At the top of your xml file you can say what language it's in.
Maybe if you change that to the appropriate language for areas have commas
as decimal places the thing'd work.
Maybe not...
