howdy monks :D,

I am trying to write a program
that will read a csv file from my bank
and sum up the money I spent during the month

the problem is some amount like "1,200.13", "1,105.02"
should add up to "2305.15", but instead
it's getting "2"!!!

I used an array to store the amounts like this
@ary = {"1,200.13", "1,105.02"}
an alternatives I came up with is like this:
Use Regular Expression to detect the ","
and then separate @ary to two :
@ary_basic = {"200.13", "105.02"}
@ary_1000 = {"1", "1"}
Then sum them up separately
But this solution only limits to amounts
that are less than 1 million.

Any better suggestions?

thx in advance :D
