LSParseEuroCurrency

Converts a locale-specific currency string that contains the Euro symbol (a) or sign (EUR) to a number. Attempts conversion through each of the three default currency formats (none, local, international). Returns the number matching the value of string.

See, also, LSParseCurrency, LSEuroCurrencyFormat and SetLocale.

Syntax

LSParseEuroCurrency(currency-string)

currency-string

The locale-specific string you want to convert to a number.

Usage

The LSParseEuroCurrency function can read the Euro symbol (a) only on Euro-enabled computers, such as Windows NT 4.0 SP4, that have Euro-enabled fonts installed.

This function is similar to LSParseCurrency except that LSParseEuroCurrency parses only the Euro currency symbol (a) or the international Euro sign (EUR), not other currency symbols such as the dollar sign ($) or the pound sign (£).
