Any help appreciated.

I'm familiar with VB. Sadly, familiarity seems to be inadequate for this thread.

If anyone can help me out here I would appreciate it a lot , im trying to convert a currency value that is being read from one .csv file and i want to write it to another .csv file without the currency symbol (Read €43.10 and write 43.10). Worked fine in VB6 by formating the string to "standard" but im using VB.Net now and i cant seem to get it to drop the currency symbol, it just converts the € symbol into a [] instead of removing it?

No no, im new to all this lark and im tryin to write a small app for work, just to read in files with a/c details and basically amend to a new format so that they are good to be imported to our system. Basically learning as i go along with books and the internet but ive googled this load of different ways and i cant seem to find an answer so i saw this thread yesterday and thought id try asking OTF..

Can you just not convert to a decimal data type?


Either by "cast"ing it (in C# for example (decimal)endresult;
or by .ToString and then implicitly converting this to decimal type.

You can also use decimal.parse() method. I use these variants a lot.
