How do I import data that uses a comma instead of a period for the decimal?

CalculationCenter, as well as other Wolfram Research products, use the English decimal convention of a period rather than a comma. If you wish to import numerical data that uses a comma rather than a period, you should:

1.

open the data file in your favorite text editor,

2.

replace all commas with periods,

3.

save the changes to the data file.

Most current text editors have global search and replace functions which greatly speed such operations in large data files.

After this conversion is complete, CalculationCenter should easily read the data file.
