Hi Shafer,

That is an interesting question and I don't have an answer for you.  I will try and find out from my friends at IDEA how it is done.

Some back and forth but I haven't got an answer  that works yet.  I will keep trying, you might also post your questions to your IDEA supplier if you can contact them.

Hi Shafeer,

I was at the IDEA offices today so I got to talk to some of the experts and it looks like this is something that might not be possible to currently do in IDEA.  The problem as you are aware is that in Windows the list separator and the comma are the same in this language and there doesn't seem to be away around this right now other than changing your regional settings to another language.  The problem is IDEA gets the list separator and the decimal from the regional settings within IDEA, as they are both the same the equation editor doesn't know what to do with them.  Sorry, I know this wasn't what you were hoping to hear.

Good luck on your project.

Not a problem, it was an interesting exercise that I had hoped would have a solution.  At this stage I would recommend you go back to your distributor and talk to them about it.

Good luck.

Brian
