Hello All,
I have the following code and I am quite satisfied with its design BUT I
have the feeling I can do better.
Basically the, main() execute the program (I did not put the parsing of
arguments function). I am opening
an Excel document and writing content in a CSV one w/ different format.
The design is an abstract template
class XLWriter, and derived 'Xl2Csv', 'Xl2Scsv', 'Xl2text' classes to
write the correct ASCII DOCUMENT to correct format.
The property hook method file_format is implement in these classes and
return an object of type 'XlCsvFileFormat' or 'XlTabFileFormat'.
It allows to put the right file extension and delimiter. These class are
derived from standard csv.excel and csv.excel_tab.
At last a Factory class MakeXlWriter has the job to create the correct
writer.
For now I did not add a strategy pattern which usually goes with the
Template pattern.
Except from that all better design or others critics will be welcome.
Regards
karim
