Hello:
I would lie to convert a simple ascii or utf8 encoded textfile to a table. The text has no delimiters between columns, but each column in the text file has its specific character lenght. For example in each row of the text characters 1-10 should go into column 1, characters 12-19 into column 2 etc. Is this possible, how? Libre Office / Open Office will do that.
Import text into calc, and select no delimiter, but column width. Then click and resize each column in the preview, and change the type of each one if appropriate (number, date, string, or generic) if appropriate.
Then, if your destination file is not LO calc, export to another format. For instance, selecting the table with the mouse and pasting into Thunderbird converts to an html table on the fly.
LO will export directly to HTML without any other program. But, I must warn you that the HTML is not pretty. The results look good in a browser but there's a lot of unnecessary HTML tags. -- A cat is a puzzle with no solution. Cats are tiny little women in fur coats.
