Description
DataFrames support loading tab-delimited files and semicolon-delimited files automatically by file extension (e.g. .tsv). Is something like that possible?
The issues is that comma-delimited files, though apparently the default format in Julia, are more or less restricted to countries with decimal points, i.e. the English-speaking countries:
In countries where the comma is the decimal separator, semicolon-delimited values are saved automatically in programs like Excel when specifying the csv format. I can't believe the guys who came up with that thought that might be a good idea, but there you are.
