[opensuse] char hex encoding html / xml?
Hi, from: https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2019-03/msg00320.html i have NOW a file: http://susepaste.org/47685312 first question would be what type of file is this (what language html or xml odr what?) maybe with the correct filename extention ".xxx" it would load correct into some software? i could load into firefox or libreoffice, libreoffice generates a excelsheet if i change .htm to .xls but how did i get the correct encoding, because i think it's not a real wrong encoding, its something i would call readable-hex-encoding ======== the line: mso-header-data:"&L&B&\0022Arial\0022&14Bedarfsanalyse f=FCr Auftrag: &B&= 8Datum: 25.03.2019 &10Auf-Nr: 1865.70&C&R"; the chars: =FC -> should be a german "u" with dots on top "ü" ============ or the line <td class=3Ds2 x:str>L=C4NGSTR=C4GER L 810</td> the chars: =C4 -> should be a german "A" with dots on top "Ä" =========== or the line: <td class=3Ds2 x:str>F=DCHRUNGSSCHIENE</td> the chars: =DC -> should be a german "U" with dots on top "Ü" ============= i found: https://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm where the hex number C4 points to the correct char. is there some tool who could handle this file correct, or translate the endcoding? simoN -- www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I would say this is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, rendered as HTML, encoded as qouted-printable.

Right, that is quoted-printable encoding.

ah, thanks for the hint. i have to try if nobody could help me with this: ====================================== i played meanwhile around, and actually i got more files out of this emails-file: xls.htm ./xls_files/fileliest.xml ./xls_files/sheet001.htm ./xls_files/stylesheet.css it looks for me that this is the internal of some "more modern" xls format. did anyone know, how to get this parts back again together to one file readable by libreoffice/microsoft office ? the xls.htm has inside snip... meta name=3D"Excel Workbook Frameset"> ..snip so it refers to the filelist and there are all 4 files listed. i think if i would know how to zip/gz/however ms did this, i should get back the working file simoN

Indeed.
did anyone know, how to get this parts back again together to one file readable by libreoffice/microsoft office ?
the xls.htm has inside snip... meta name=3D"Excel Workbook Frameset"> ..snip
so it refers to the filelist and there are all 4 files listed. i think if i would know how to zip/gz/however ms did this, i should get back the working file
I did a test with LO. You can "save as" excel file. I tried xls and xlsx.

i will stop for the moment, must do some more important work now. maybe someone knows here this file format and could help. if not i will try qprint. the extractet excel sheet after qprint will not be perfect but at least i will have the data. simoN -- www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It is iconv you have to use, on the original, before extracting the pieces. See my other post. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

iconv does conversions between character sets, it doesn't do anything with encodings. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.6°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I had not noticed the encodings further down the file. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

google "structure of xls excel 2002 files" https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/office_file_formats/ms-xls/cd03cb... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Excel#File_formats File formats Microsoft Excel up until 2007 version used a proprietary binary file format called Excel Binary File Format (.XLS) as its primary format.[27] Excel 2007 uses Office Open XML as its primary file format, an XML-based format that followed after a previous XML-based format called "XML Spreadsheet" ("XMLSS"), first introduced in Excel 2002.[28] Although supporting and encouraging the use of new XML-based formats as replacements, Excel 2007 remained backwards-compatible with the traditional, binary formats. In addition, most versions of Microsoft Excel can read CSV, DBF, SYLK, DIF, and other legacy formats. Support for some older file formats was removed in Excel 2007.[29] The file formats were mainly from DOS-based programs. Binary OpenOffice.org has created documentation of the Excel format.[30] Since then Microsoft made the Excel binary format specification available to freely download.[31] XML Spreadsheet Main article: Microsoft Office XML formats The XML Spreadsheet format introduced in Excel 2002[28] is a simple, XML based format missing some more advanced features like storage of VBA macros. Though the intended file extension for this format is .xml, the program also correctly handles XML files with .xls extension. This feature is widely used by third-party applications (e.g. MySQL Query Browser) to offer "export to Excel" capabilities without implementing binary file format. The following example will be correctly opened by Excel if saved either as Book1.xml or Book1.xls: Also, google "mail excel file" and you will see what your correspondent has done. There are even videos. It is possible he selected part of the sheet and hit "mail this". Try to tell him to send mail from the file explorer, not from inside excel. Or... How complicated things are... -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Ah yes, that sounds quite likely. That would certainly explain the HTML with QP encoding. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.7°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

i found: https://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm where the hex number C4 points to the correct char.

iconv :-) However, LO asks what language to use for the import. Try with "English(USA)". Huh. You said: |> but how did i get the correct encoding, because i think it's not |> a real wrong encoding, its something i would call readable-hex-encoding That's an artifact of displaying in UTF, maybe a letter that has no representation in the current font. If I view the file "Bedarfsanalyse für Auftrag_2.xls" with less, I see those: "Dieses Dokument wurde f374r die Anzeige in Microsoft Excel 2002 oder h366her formatiert.
