Copying data from csv to ods


Recommended Posts

Hi!

I'm facing a problem which my limited programming experience seems preventing me to solve...

I have a bunch of .csv files. I managed to open them, remove unnecessary stuff and combine them together. SO I ended up with a big single .csv containing all of my data. Now i need to import that content to a specific sheet inside a Libreoffice's Calc file. I've found the  OOoCOM_UDF_v08.au3 UDF, but honestly I'm having an hard time interpreting it's working... I found a couple of examples but none of them was conclusive... The point is I can read the whole .csv to an array, but how do i send it to the Calc document, splitting each column's content by its ";" ?

Is there anybody willing to help somehow? I can't even attach an example file because I'm really stuck in nowhere !

Don't know too much about OpenOffice/LibreOffice. But with Microsoft Excel you would simply start Excel and pass the CSV file. Excel automatically imports it.

Thank you water. Libreoffice works the same way, but what I'm trying to do is automating the whole process, so in the end I just have to open the Calc file and the content is already there. Keep in mind the data it's been processed in the meantime by the script.

I'm not sure I get what you want. But if you use something like this in your script:

Run("..path to OpenOffice\calc.exe file.csv")

wouldn't it do what you need?

Already tried that route. Two problems: first, I need a way to import the csv into a specific sheet of the Calc file. Second, but less important, that wouldn't make the process unattended, because it would open the import dialog requiring input from the user. Not a big deal the latter issue, but a big one the first.

Then you need one of the UDF functions.

Or search the forum for "Open Office calc". Maybe you'll find some code which can be at least a starting point.
