I am a bit new to n++ but i already love it. However i am a bit tired of a small problem. In my company we use a german windows environment while some other software uses english digits. So it happens that 2.45345 != 2,45345 for example. When i copy the code in to Excel or similar i get the wrongt numbers.
Till now i did everything by hand. Replacing all spaces to tab stops and "." to ",". But since i use n++ i tried to make a macro. However it seems that the "Replace" option isn't recogniced by the recorder and i am unable to save and run the macro. Is there any workaround or something i missed?

You could also take a look at the Simple Script Plug-In. It allows you to perform multiple actions with one script.
>>Replace(string oldtext, string newtext): Replaces all instances of oldtext with newtext.
Enclose oldtext and newtext in quotes. For example, if you have:
________A bird lives in a tree. Trees are green.
and you run:
________Replace( "tree" , "house" )
The new document would look like the following:
________A bird lives in a house. houses are green.

Press CTRL+F or CTRL+R to open the (advanced) Find/Replace dialog.
Check the regular expressoin option.
In the Find field, enter:
(\d+)\.(\d)
In the Replace field, enter:
\1,\2
Replace all occurrences, starting from the top of the document or using wrap mode.
Notice that this will also change any "digits-dot-digits" sequence:
\d______ searches for a digit
+_______ searches for a continous string of the previous match pattern (digits)
()______ groups an expression so it can be referred to in the Replace field
\.______ searches for a literal dot, simply . would match any character
\1______ refers to the first () group, i.e. the integer value of the number
\2______ refers to the second () group, i.e. the decimal part of the number
Perhaps you can figure out how to do something similar for changing spaces into tab stops.

Hi there.

Use a regular expression (regex) to do the trick.

Correction: the decimal part may also exist of multiple digits.
