Hello,

i've done a small program (see below) which parse a string representing
a real. How can i "say" to NumberFormat to accept to use "e" instead of
"E" ?

parsing of 1e10 = 1               <========= problem
parsing of .1E10 = 1000000000
parsing of 1E40 = 1.0E40
parsing of 1E-10 = 1.0E-10

=================================================================
import java.text.NumberFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.util.Locale;

public class TestNfLocale {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        parse("1e10", Locale.US);
        parse(".1E10", Locale.US);
        parse("1E40", Locale.US);
        parse("1E-10", Locale.US);
       
    }

    private static void parse(String s, Locale l) {
        NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance(l);
        try {
            Number n = nf.parse(s);
           
            System.err.println("parsing of " + s + " = " + n);
        } catch (ParseException ex) {
            System.err.println("parsing of " + s + " failed");
        }
    }
}
