Subject: Re: [users] Multiple replace 'comma' to 'dot' as decimal separator
in text documents
Thank you for response!
I spent some time with regular expressions, but it seems I'm too stupid
for that. Do you have any suggestions, what I have to write in field
'Replace with'. In the field 'Search for' I can write something like
[0123456789],[0123456789].

In Latvian we are using 'comma' as standard decimal separator, but when
I have to prepare scientific publication, even in local language, I
usually have to change 'comma' to 'dot' in numbers and it's quite time
consuming operation. Some 10 years ago I wrote visual basic macro to do
mass change of 'comma' to 'dot' and vice versa in Word, but
unfortunately I lost it.
Is there any easy way to do this operation in Writer, using macros or
Find and replace function?
Hello.
For me (OOo 3.0.1 PPC), it is under "Edit" menu, "Find & Replace..."
sub-menu. In the Find & Replace dialog, there is also an "options"
button giving you more choices, such as regular expressions, etc.
HTH.
