What about this?
Remove the periods and change the "," to a ".":
s <- "12.084.547,17"
x <- as.numeric(gsub(',','\\.', gsub('\\.','',s)))
options(digits=10)
x
Escaping periods is not-so-obvious.

Hello I have a sting of the form "12.084.547,17" which I would like R to
understand as a number which has "," as the decimal separator, does anybody
know how to do this?
thank you
