Subject says /almost/ all. I've added some scripts to the IO package for writing ODS spreadsheet files using the java package and ODF toolkit. (Preliminary support using jOpenDocument (also java-based) is also included but yet only of limited use.) Reading ODS was already possible.
As it stands it works fairly reliably but the underlying java stuff may be a bit fragile on Windows (see other posting). On Linux I didn't hit any problems yet. An issue to be aware of is that ODS has dedicated value types for dates and times, while octave has not. This is quite unlike Excel spreadsheets where dates are essentially numerical data formatted as dates. Reading data/time from ODS spreadsheets is OK (they are converted to octave datenums) but for the other way round there is no reliable solution. Actually I did implement writing dates to ODS (that's just 10 lines of code) but as there's no way yet to distinguish numerical data and date/time data in an octave cell array that code is currently a bit pointless. Anyway, as far as spreadsheet processing goes I suppose octave is presently a bit more advanced than the competition ;-) Best wishes, Philip ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Octave-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/octave-dev
