Not Sure what this title should be. 1

Kind of a unique problem.
There is an instrument that retrieves some data and store it to a file. Part of that code is here:
Print #1, Format(Currentwavelength(i), "#000.00 " Int(Currentscan(Tarscan, i)); Int(Currentscan(Refscan, i))

The problem is when the software is run on a foreign pc, (different regional settings) the period in #000.00 is a comma. The file will not open this way. As a result, I have 2 questions:
1 - Is there a way to force a period regardless of the regional settings or something similar?

2 - Is there a way to come up with a conversion tool to change all the previously acquired data? There are about 512 lines in the file with a period.

Thanks

One thing you could try is something like the following:

WaveString = Format(Currentwavelength(i), "#000.00 &quot
WaveString = Replace(WaveString, ",", ".&quot
Print #1, WaveString; Int(Currentscan(Tarscan, i)); Int(Currentscan(Refscan, i))

This should change any commas back to periods regarless of the system settings before its written to the file
Good Luck
