Bug ID: 149760
Summary: Allow to define column widths for fixed-width CSV
export from export filter's token 5
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
URL: https://forumooo.ru/index.php/topic,9233
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc

As mentioned in bug 149759, currently token 5 of CSV filter parameter string
[1] is import-only. Still it would be nice if this token could be used for
export, when fixed-width export is used (FIX in token 1). In than case, the
token could take a simplified form of "0/30/48/97" to define the position at
which to start the respective column, or maybe "10/10/5/50" to define width in
characters for each column.
Currently, converting to CSV from command line could produce a "glued" columns,
like
col1 col2 col3
abc ghi jkl
abcdefghi jk
where the "abcdef" is not separate from "ghi" in the second data row. (The
actual result could be worse, with all rows having glued data, so it would be
impossible to tell one column from another.) The export takes the widths from
the "physical" column width in lcl_ScDocShell_GetFixedWidthString. So the new
feature, if implemented, would make that code consider the passed column widths
when present.
