That's one way to use this tool, yes. > I think that the idea to use an automatic (headless) export is that you > don't need to know the number of sheets and much less the name of the > Sheets. Sure. Another way to use the tool is to just pass-in the filename and a format code, to get out numbered sheets: $ /path/to/libreoffice/program/python libreconverter.py many-sheets.xls output-%d.csv output-1.csv output-2.csv output-3.csv etc.. https://github.com/colonelqubit/libreconverter > I use a Freeware (for Windows only) named XLS2CSV Converter (by GenX Crowd) > which simply exports one csv per sheet giving automatic names like > file1_sheet1.csv, file1_sheet2.csv, etc > The user just needs to select a file or a whole folder. Right. That sounds similar to how this tool works. The nice thing about the libreconverter tool is that it's: - Cross-platform - FOSS So it's quite suited for any power users who ask us for help with this type of problem Best, --R _______________________________________________ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: [email protected] Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/
