I don't want to venture in to Babel.
I don't want to experiment with unoconv either. I have a non-official
libreoffice installed. Pulling in official unoconv will interfere with
my working installation.
For your purposes, just soffice will do.
(defun org-table-import-ods (&optional file-name)
(interactive "fFile: ")
(let ((csv-file (org-odt-convert file-name "csv"))
(pos (point)))
(save-excursion
(insert (with-temp-buffer
(insert-file-contents csv-file)
(org-table-convert-region (point-min) (point-max) '(4))
(buffer-string))))))
| Simple | Table |
| 1 | 10 |
| 2 | 20 |
| 3 | 30 |
Remember to close all libreoffice applications. THIS IS IMPORTANT.
Otherwise `org-odt-convert' will error out.
0. Visit scratch buffer
1. Install the above snippet
2. Go to end of the scratch buffer.
3. M-x org-table-import-ods RET
You will see something like what I see above.
