[Gnuplot-info] thousands separators

[Tilman B. <tbe...@ya...>]

Hi,

I have some data with numbers which have ' as thousand separators
e.g.
12'345.67
  3'123.777
  1'557.0
How to read this data correctly with gnuplot?
I know that this is not a scientific way of displaying numbers for a 
scientific plotting program...
But before changing all the data there might be a way to tell Gnuplot to 
accept such numbers.

I tried:
set locale "Italian_Switzerland.1252"

because this uses ' as thousand separator and . as decimal point.
However, in the above example Gnuplot takes the 12, 3, and 1 and ignores 
the rest.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tilman.
