d3 replacing semicolon with comma

Question

Hoping someone way clever than me can quickly help solve this. I have csv files coming in with a semicolon seperator. it cant read the headings:

d3.csv("file.csv", function(error, data) {
   data.forEach(function(d) {
       d.date = parseDate(d.date);
       d.value2 = +d.value2;
       d.value1 = +d.value1;
   });

I've tried adding something like data.replace(/\s*;\s*/g, ",") but doesnt work.

Appreciate the help.
