Example

o_toggleRadix("23,45   24,34   89,01") returns "23.45   24.34   89.01" and
o_toggleRadix("23.45   24.34   89.01") returns "23,45   24,34   89,01"

Notes

The world is split between two major groups that use a decimal radix of "," or ".". This function is provided as a quick way to switch between the two when presenting numbers in Text format. Note that strReplace() would also work but it uses loops so this one is faster.
