I have a CSV file with data reading that I want to read into Python. I get lists that contain strings like "2,5". Now doing float("2,5") does not work, because it has the wrong decimal mark.
How do I read this into Python as 2.5?
float("2,5".replace(',', '.'))will do in most casesIf
valueis a large number and.has been used for thousands, you can:Replace all commas for points:
value.replace(",", ".")Remove all but the last point:
value.replace(".", "", value.count(".") -1)
