MATLAB: How to read commas as decimal points when reading a text file

textscan comma decimal

I have a file that I'm trying to read with numerical values that use commas as decimal points. For example…
0  21,875000  120,700000  0,000000
instead of…
0  21.875000  120.700000  0.000000
I've used textscan to read and parse lines in other files.
line = fgetl(fid);
data = textscan(line,'%d %n %n %n',1,'delimiter','\n');
Can I get Matlab to recognize the commas as decimal points?

Best Answer

after reading the file replace the decimal points by commas
data=strrep(data,'.',',')
