BTW, most systems support the /dev/fd/# pseudo files. So even if the
software doesn't have special support for stdout, you can always use
/dev/fd/1.

The manual page for ssconvert says you can use fd://1 for standard
output. Use this as the output file.

Try it:

View=%view{ascii} (TMP_FILE=${MC_TMPDIR}/view.; ssconvert
--recalc "%f" -T Gnumeric_stf:stf_assistant ${TMP_FILE} && cat
${TMP_FILE} && rm ${TMP_FILE}) || xls2csv %f || strings %f

that obviously cannot work

when run on the commandline, ssconvert needs output file, and possibly
also --export-type. The following command works for me:

  ssconvert --export-type=Gnumeric_stf:stf_assistant zzz.gnumeric zzz.txt

The question is, how to make it work inside mc?
I don't want the output to go to a file. I want to view it in mc.

Hi Fourhundred,

Try to use this:

View=%view{ascii} ssconvert %f || xls2csv %f || strings %f
