Re: LOCALE ERROR

[Marcelo Rezende Módolo <mrmodolo at terra dot com dot br>]

I read the man pages "man setlocale", "man strftime" and find a mistake 
in str format.
I use ' if (!strftime((char *)str, 100, "%#x", (const struct tm 
*)thetime))' but the correct is
' if (!strftime((char *)str, 100, "%x", (const struct tm *)thetime))'...
But I still have the same output for all setlocale I use.
setlocale(LC_ALL, "C");
setlocale(LC_ALL, "pt_BR");
setlocale(LC_ALL, "ja");
...
$ ./crt_locale.exe
'Mon Dec 08 2003'
'Mon Dec 08 2003'
'Mon Dec 08 2003'
'Mon Dec 08 2003'

thanks,
Marcelo Modolo
