Re: csv file problem to open

[Ian McCallion]

Incidentally matlab seems to have the same issue in that only '.' is
ever used as the decimal separator. The argument seems to be that
science is done this way.

However I also found this link which may provide a way forward for
interfacing to and from the real world in countries which present
numbers differently.
