European number format - the rational ruby way

Rails
1

Hi There,

Users in some european countries like to write 1.234,56 instead of
1,234.56 What would be the easiest way of accepting this number
format? For output, I’m using a formatting helper, but I haven’t
figured out how to do it for input.

thanks,

js

The Globalize plugin has international number formatting for its
currency classes, you could have a look at how they’ve done it.
