Thank you for the fix, it works great. Thank you for compromising... :-)
I think gretl is a really great package. What distinguishes gretl from the other packages
is its user friendliness. And it's a feature like this easy importing that makes gretl
stand out. If we want "normal people" to start using math and statistics in real
life, we need to help them. They have enough to do to convince their math-hating
colleagues and bosses about these tools in the first place. So I think it's only fair
that they make up a bit for the lost time by doing a quick data import...
Kind regards,
Thorsten

Gretl running in English gets everything right automatically, but the
importation fails when running in German -- in fact, in any locale
that uses ',' as decimal character and with "Use locale setting for
decimal point" selected in gretl's Preferences.
This is now fixed in git and snapshots.
When gretl realized that '.' must be a thousands marker, she revised her opinion
about ',', now taking it to be the decimal separator. The consequences of this
switch were correctly handled for the case where the local decimal separator is dot, but
not otherwise. Now they're handled in both cases.
