Hello,

i found out, that xlsx2csv (https://pypi.org/project/xlsx2csv/#files) is able 
to read the contents of xlsx-files. It's python-based.
For Implementation into piler, I am probably the wrong one, but i think that 
could be possible?

BR, Christian

Betreff: Re: Indexation of Excel files newer than 2007

Hello Christian,

catdoc is not capable of processing new office formats. As far as I know there 
is no intention for catdoc to implement this in a foreseeable future. The same 
problem exists for xls2csv. You could theoretically try to call unoconv 
(https://github.com/unoconv/unoconv) before catdoc, but it will probably have a 
big performance impact since it launches libre office / open office for the 
conversion. But if you try this I would be interested in your results since 
being limited to index only old office formats is also something we would like 
to overcome. Alternatively if you can find an open source software which is 
capable of efficiently extracting plain text from current office formats it 
should be easily implementable into piler (basically a few lines in extract.c 
as far as I can tell). For excel there is https://github.com/xevo/xls2csv and 
https://github.com/nagirrab/xls2csv which claim to be cabable of proccessing 
xlsx files. But I haven't looked into them yet.

Kind Regards
Martin

Hello,

Indexation of Excel files newer than Excel 2007 fails in my installation.
I am using catdoc 0.95 and it tells:

This file looks like ZIP archive or Office 2007 or later file.
Not supported by catdoc

The Excel-File has been created using Excel 2010.

BR, Christian
