Believe me, I _do_ understand that in Europe it is common to use a comma as a decimal-sign. I told you how to adjust that for data input using `read.table` at the time of data input. R uses the period internally in all locales as the decimal separator. There is no mechanism that I know of that allows the console output to be with the period. For output with `write.table` you can again specify the use of the comma as the decimal separator and some other character as the field separator. In fact you can set that globally with: ?options > options()$OutDec # my setting [1] "." If you continue having difficulty using XLConnect, then you should contact the authors of that package. > All computer in the cip-pools are using the "comma" ( an I think 99.9% of all > other computers here) > Can you imagine what would happen after changing this to dot? > Or in the other way, try to get the people in your country to use the ,comma > as separator.
