123
PS C:\Temp> [double]"12.3"

This should also work:

PS> $bratwurst = new-object System.Globalization.CultureInfo "de-DE"
PS> [double]::Parse('0,815', $bratwurst)
0,815

Hi dreeschkind,

or if one prefers one-liners:

PS> [Double]::Parse('0,815', [Globalization.CultureInfo]'de-DE')
0,815

I hoped there is something like LC_LOCALE=C and everything would be handled
in the invariant locale.
It is not the problem to change one or two statements, but to get a reliable
environment, that gives the same results independend of who runs the skript.
