LSParseEuroCurrency

Converts a locale-specific currency string that contains the Euro symbol (€) 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 (€) 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 (€) or the international Euro sign (EUR), not other currency symbols such as the dollar sign ($) or the pound sign (£).
