Goodmorning,
When I copy/paste a position from the game to Excel it gives me comma's in the lat/long. Anyone an idea how to get dots instead. The dots are then used in LUA.
Tried replace but that is also replacing the comma seperating lat and long. Tried in options the decimal and 1000 caracters but looks like I do not get it to wrok.
the question is if someone already knows how I get the paste with dots in the lat/long position in excel (or another program)?
best regards GJ

This is usually a Culture preference setting in windows under Region and Language settings (may be called something slightly different in win10) you can often adjust it or just customize the decimal symbol format - just note you're doing it system wide when changing this.

Just curious, what do you mean by "when I copy/paste a position from the game to Excel" ?
What position are you talking about ?
I'm a big Excel fan so it might be of interest to me ...
Thx

Search the manual for clipboard and you'll see several things you can copy and paste to excel, or any other app.

When I need a position form the game in lua I use ctrl+x (in the game) and ctrl+v in the console or excel.
