Set local number format from Dutch format Number

Hi All

I have written a script that takes a string and removes the 3 characters at the front. After the 3 characters have been removed I would like to display the remaining as a value with 2 decimal places.

The only problem is that string shows the number in the Dutch format e.g. EUR5.000,00

Is it possible to format the remaining as a number to 2 decimal places acording to the machine it was run on? e.g. if it was run in the UK it would show 5,000.00 and if it was run on the Netherlands it would show 5.000,00.

Also if this was run in the Netherlands does anyone know if this example would automatically convert it to a number?

I hope someone can help!

Thanks in advance

Jim
