Problem with decimal commas/dots in OpenOffice by gak 2006-11-05 09:02:59
I'm working with gnuplot to create acceptable plots for my lab reports, and use OpenOffice to make the tables (with formulas and everything, so simply using a text editor is not acceptable). I then copy and paste the parts I want plot into a *.txt. So far, so good, but unfortunately I have the German Language Version of OO installed, and it demands kommas instead of dots for decimal numbers (1,05 istead of 1.05), and gnuplot can't cope with that, my plots get funny. I also can't find out how to tell OO to accept dots, short of DLing and instaling the English version.

So, what I'd like to have is a nice and simple Editor wo replaces all commas in a file with dots, and works on windows. Any hints?
