I have some 'spreadsheet' files that I want to read on Leap. They are produced by a logging device (a Rotronic CL11) plugged into the manufacturer's app on Win10 and have names that end in .XLS but they are text files in a kind of mixed ini-file and TSV (tab-separated values) format. They start off with ini file sections describing each of the columns of data (humidity, CO2, temp) and then there's a section with a TSV list of all the logged data values.
Does anybody recognize this format and/or have any ideas of applications that can read or import it? I tried feeding it to libreoffice calc but it opened them as text files.
Failing any suitable app, I guess I'll write a program to convert it to pure CSV or something.
You could probably write an AWK script in 5 minutes to strip off the header. If you want to get more exotic, python-xlswriter is in OBS and factory (not Leap 42.1): https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:languages:python/python-xlsxwr... I think there is a perl equivalent as well. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
