V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #4 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> --- Doing a \d digit match at word bounds \b (with or without decimal and thousands separator) as a column separator might be feasible, but IMHO dates are probably too complicated in general to be able to parse into columns. Although simple ISO 8601 formats might also be feasible. But isn't this rather a niche user request? Seems sed and awk, or perl, or python provide means to stream convert into a meaningful CSV format, external to LibreOffice, for import to calc or writer table. And, most sources will provide export choices to delimit both fields and text strings, suitable for ingestion without additional formatting. Other than convenience, no real justification to shoehorn this into the Text Import dialog as a means to describe complex Field Delimiter(s). IMHO interesting if a dev has interest to take on the refactoring of our Text Import dialog to provide delimiter for numbers between word bounds, and maybe also ISO dates. Otherwise => WF -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
