Nic Crane updated ARROW-13421: ------------------------------ Labels: (was: R) > [C++] Add functionality for reading in columns as floats from delimited > files where a comma has been used as a decimal separator > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-13421 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-13421 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: R > Affects Versions: 4.0.1 > Reporter: Daniel Paierl > Priority: Minor > > In the R arrow package read_delim_arrow lacks the option to specify the > decimal marker (e.g. comma or point) in the parsing options. > This is a major inconvenience for data with a _point_ as a decimal marker > (european users) since the data is read in as astring which requires post-hoc > conversion of the string to double. > Request: Add a parsing option to set the decimal marker if that is possible. > (i.e. if the source data uses commas to demark the decimal place, this > feature request wants to be able to process such files as if a period had > been used instead) -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
