A CSV file with results from the EnergyPlus simulation software

As many other other engineering software tools, the Energy Plus simulation
software produces CSV text files as a way to export data to spreadsheet
software. However, at least for portuguese users (and probably for many other
locales that use the comma as decimal separator, this forces a somehow
cumbersome procedure:

1st - Open as text without conversion

2nd - "Search-Replace" all commas with any other character, e.g., semi-colon

3rd - "Search-Replace" all dots with commas

4th - Convert text to columns using semi-colon as the column separator.

As I said before, it would be great to simply have the chance to define "dot"
as the decimal separator when opening the file as it would save a lot of
trouble. As it is the dots are understood as thousand separators and the commas
as decimal separators and the results are unusable if we try to open files
directly.


Best regards,

Luís Neves
