Identify european or american System

[svorgodne]

I am currently working in Austria but I have to exchange information with office from different parts of the world. Most european countries are using a point (.) as a thousand separator, and a comma (,) as a decimal separator, which is exactly the opposite in other parts of the world.

 

My question is:

 

Is there a system variable that recognizes which is the decimal and thousand separator symbol? That would help me for a lisp routine that is exporting to an excel sheet, number information contained in blocks.

 

Actually I would be happy to be able to read information contained in the Windows registry through autolisp so I can programm consequently.

 

Thanks in advance
