You have remind me that the our server runs under Linux and not under Windows as our clients :-) So indeed I can use a sed-pipe construct to switch '.' and ','. But wait, there is just another problem then. Our date format is also german :-( "DD.MM.YY" or "DD.MM.YYYY". So if I just exchange '.' and ',' the date will be unreadable for the import :-( The (current) file is 1.4 GB so it will take ages to let awk chew on it I guess.
