@shaz: Please care about your own questions. Your rate of accepting answers is very low and I find a lot of questions for clarifications, which you did not answer. This demotivates others to help you.

Please read the guide to tags and retag this question; see http://www.mathworks.co.uk/matlabcentral/answers/43073-a-guide-to-tags

Answer 1

Data = fileread(FileName);
Data = strrep(Data, ',', '.');
FID = fopen(NewFileName, 'w');
fwrite(FID, Data, 'char');
fclose(FID);

Please do not keep asking the same question. This is being addressed in http://www.mathworks.co.uk/matlabcentral/answers/54565-proper-orientation-writing-to-text-file

@Walter: The question of the linked thread was: "problem is not able to adjust whitespaces", but this one concerns commas and dots. But it seems like the other thread has been perforated already, I guess somebody has deleted some comments.

Yup, looks like someone deleted comments here.

I've looked in the activity log, but did not find the one, who has deleted the comments.

@shaz: did you delete your comments? If so, please stop doing this, because it makes the complete thread confusing and there reduces the quality of the forum.

Deletions do not appear in the activity log. The activity log is created by actively querying the database for the records that it still has. The metainfo for the entries is deleted along with the entries being deleted.

In fact. What a pitty. It would be useful to know, if shaz has deleted his comments. Together with the fact, that too many of my questions for clarifications are not answered, it would help me to estimate how useful my activities in his threads are.
