Re: help for date-format modifications

["Morten Welinder" <mortenw gnome org>]

You can do this right now.  For example, when loading a csv file
from the command line, try putting "2.12.2000" (quotes and all)
into zzz.csv

LANG=C gnumeric zzz.csv
(you get February)

LANG=da_DK.UTF-8 gnumeric zzz.csv
(you get December)

LANG=da_DK.UTF-8 is a bit invasive if you don't speak Danish, but
you could pick a more suitable one or mess with the more specific
LC_* variables.

The configurable text importer less you choose the locale that the
data came from.  That controls date and number parsing.
