decimal problem

Hello world, 

I am having a problem with the decimal symbol. The result of
writing a 
floating-point-number to an xml document is 
 <number>10,1234</number> 

The result I want is a dot as decimal symbol, like this 
<number>10.1234</number> 

If I adjust the county settings of my computer and say the
decimal 
symbol must be an dot it works out fine, but this is not a
very good solution because I dont want to be dependent of
the system settings of a computer. I have tried to use the
setlocale function with setlocale(LC_ALL,
"English"). This didnt seem to work.

Anybody has an clue?

 xmlSaveFormatFile(xmlFilename, doc, 1); 
 xmlFreeDoc(doc);

I don't think "English" is a valid locale, I think
you should use
"en_US" or similar.
