james2000 Invalid Double exception when parsing comma in string
It looks like the Double.valueOf(String) and Decimal.valueOf(String) don't support using a non-decimal point separator. For many locales, the decimal separator character is the comma (,) instead of period (.). When I call Double.valueOf(String) in a locale that uses a comma, I expect it to parse correctly. Unfortunately, this isn't the case.
For example, the following code will throw a TypeException:
Double d = Double.valueOf('7,2');
System.debug('D=' + d.format());
Changing the "," to "." works though.
Is this expected behavior? I'm guessing the only thing I can do is replace "," with "." whenever parsing a string. :smileysad:
