Hi, I have a csv file where sep is ";" and I have "," as decimal point.
How I can import directly in Octave?
An example:
1953;1453,6
1954;1480,1
1955;1576,4
1956;1621,5
1957;1655,3
One way is to do it entirely within Octave, by reading the file as-is,
doing string substitution of your delimiters, and reading back the
resulting string. Here's the Octave code, assuming that your file is
called "data":
a=fread(fopen("data"));
a(a==",")=".";
a(a==";")=",";
b=reshape(sscanf(strvcat(a'),"%f,%f"),2,32)';
an alternative might be to use an external utility, e.g. using Perl:
system("perl -pe 's/,/./g;s/;/,/g' data > b")
load b
I suspect that there are less awkward/quirky ways of implementing the
pure-Octave version---can anyone suggest something nicer looking?
