Re: [libreoffice-users] Import XML files?

 Have you tried with a recent release of LibO? 3.4.6 is pretty old

It's the current release from the Fedora repo.

Thanks for that Steve.

It looks like this is saying that OO/LO needs a specific template for a 
specific input, is that the case?
I hope not, XML is supposed to be a self defining file format surely?  A 
general importer ought to be easy, no?

Hi :)
Yes, but LO develops so fast that even a version just a couple of months old is 
'ancient'.  

I think it would be nice to see an LTS that has all security and bug-fixes 
back-ported to it so that people could stick to one version for a year or more 
rather than having to re-install every month or so.  Unfortunately the BoD are 
fairly committed to making sure we don't get one.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Ok, I'll put it on the list.

Visual FoxPro (for example) has a built in function, XMLTOCURSOR, 
which takes a string or filename and produces a table.

[libreoffice-users] Import XML files?

2012-10-03 Thread Mark Stanton
I've got an XML file (I've generated myself, programmatically).

I thought it ought to be easy to import it in LO (3.4.6), somehow.  I 
thougth Calc would be a good bet, but it just gives me General I/O 
error.  Base does the same.

The website 
(help.libreoffice.org/Common/About_Import_and_Export_Filters) 
suggests it ought to be doable but gives no details whatsoever.

Anyone got any pointers I could use?

Hi.
I do this with an XSLT filter.
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3490f=45

Here is a pre-processing method I have not tried as the above works well 
for me.
