Not always possible...

I am lately having to deal with CSV. In Germany the decimals are with "," and C++ decimals are with "." so... every time that you open a CSV in excel it breaks it, changing many things to date format and the problem is you can't change back after you save.
csv   --> Open Excel --> Change back to number
1.0   -->    1.0     -->     1.0
1.1   --> 1.Jan.2020 -->   43831
1.100 -->   1.100    -->   1.100

Adding the -'- would break the csv format and might give problems in other editors / software.


The biggest problem is this "I know better what you need than you self" and the bunch of auto corrections that are always messing in the background. Very comfortable in many moments but a PITA in other moments.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
