Topic: Split String To Strings and Numbers

@Dlanor, note that the backslash is an escape character in AutoLISP, hence you will need to double-up the backslashes in your string for the backslash to appear in the RegEx pattern - working with RegEx in AutoLISP tends to suffer from Leaning Toothpick Syndrome

Hmmm..  WYSIWYG..  The shown regexp pattern produced the displayed results. If I double up the backslashes in the pattern it doesn't. Maybe it's my setup (AC2009 64 on Win 8.1) or, out on a limb, perhaps VB2010 Express.

My apologies, the above doesn't hold true on my desktop (AC2012 64 on Win 7). There i need to double up the backslashes. 

Wierd... I'm also now talking to myself 

Ok, laptop problem, reboot and sfc throws some errors. Restoring from last good image.

This will tell you what the decimal separator is on the system

Code: [Select]

(setq d_sep (vl-registry-read "HKEY_USERS\\.DEFAULT\\Control Panel\\International" "sDecimal"))

Using the Replace Method, this regex and replacement string will return the inserted string with all instances of (digit,digit) replaced with (digit.digit)

Code: [Select]

"(\\d),(\\d)"  "$1.$2"
