We abled xls import in a big node project, however we had to use ... Apache POI + some java code to deal with it (however we controlled the java process from a node program).
It works pretty fine, but steel, we would have prefered either use a JS solution, or even make bindings from a C library, but we did not found something very good. We're hopping that the refactorings from libreoffice will someday lead to some library to deal with xls/xlsx (and any format supported by libroffice/openoffice), a bit like what libpurple did from pidgin. cheers, Florian 2012/5/4 Bradley Meck <[email protected]> > http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180 > http://superuser.com/questions/345759/export-csv-with-values-enclosed-with-double-quotes, > fields should be allowed to have escaped character via double quotes. > Excel and almost every other mainstream editor for CSV seems to deal with > this fine. > > 1 > "2" > 3,000 > > becomes > > 1,"""2""","3,000" > > > > On Friday, May 4, 2012 5:18:32 AM UTC-5, Juzer Ali wrote: >> >> But that would be CSV parsing right?
