Is there a 'search and replace' method to replace all comma´s by dots (as a decimal seperator). For example 0,78 into 0.78. At this moment several students responses were graded as incorrect while the only error they made was to provide a response using a comma instead of a dot. I can export the data file and use another program to score the responses, but there may be a much more efficient method to modify the responses.

how abou this?
do not know Maple T A, but it sounds like the separator problem on German machines I know from Excel + Maple:
StringTools[SubstituteAll]("0,78",",","."); parse(%);
gives 0.78 (i.e. read in data as strings and replace; take care if there is a 1000 separator as well)
Thanks Axel, I did not tried
Thanks Axel, I did not tried it yet, but it looks good.
