in thread ODF file handling

Only problem is that the docs on that one only talk of the earlier version of the Open Office file format (sxc). I'd prefer to use odf.

      Yep, I found that earlier when I was looking. Perhaps I should've mentioned it... Oh well, too late now :D.

      There is a problem though. That has low level xml parser for odf in general (OpenOffice::OODoc::XPath). Which would enable me to do what I want. However it would be quite a task as it is a low level xml parser for odf. There are some higher level modules in the OpenOffice::OODoc. However the main high level one is for text documents and not for spreadsheets. And that's a problem.

      But I hadn't seen that newsletter. Interesting... thanks for that.
        Hena,

        Did you read OpenOffice::OODoc? It mentions text2table which comes as part of the distribution:

        "Creates an OpenOffice.org Calc file and populate its first sheet from a delimited text file. Each line of the source file produces a row in the target table. In the line, the field separator is ";"."

        Since you already have a method of outputting your data in a delimited format, perhaps this would be of use to you.

        Martin
