Hi Paul!
I am not sure if I can follow.
In my few tests Libreoffice exportet interpreted the fixed length as the
width of the cell showing in CALC.
Unfortunately for me CALC somehow gives a little space to the left when
presenting the data and thus in the export there is a space. When I manuall

Hi Andreas,
As I said, it is not a problem about editing the text file.
I need to export the data of a spreadsheet into a certain ASCII format. The
file has 1000-2000 columns and 350 rows. I don't see how a text editor can
help with this. But maybe I just don't know thos editors well enough.
Hello,
As already stated, spreadsheet programs are horrible text editors.
This is my fixed length output of a spreadsheet copied from a text editor:
000123 2012-05-130.57715one_char
000124 2012-05-140.58904two_char

Hi Paul!
So I did some more testing with the latest version and I still persist:
LibreOffice uses the visible width of the column to determine the fixed
width!
Here is what I did:
- Followed your instructions on how to format the cells (had done this
before already!).
- Included some text
Hi Andreas,
I thought I had posted loads of trivial example data. What could be a
problem is that you read this in your email program and I am writing the

OK, this comes from the Nabble interface and from your example data I come to
the conclusion that all data are integers.
A generic solution for up to 1024 columns may look like this:
Assumed data in Data.A1:AMJ999
A1000: =MAX(LEN(A$1:$A$999)) [this is an array formula to be entered with

Hi all!
I will give Andreas solution a try and also will check the other link.
Because I guess this goes out to everyone on the list everytime. I usually
don't like mailing lists. I prefer the forum style a lot more.
I had hoped that there is a simpler solution than go for formulas, because

Hello berritorre
I have setmy email for fixed width in hopes that this test will be clearer.
The table below is a direct copy from Calc using the commands I spoke
of. Letter Gothic typeface.
No override of default in formatting. (assuming it is defined on import)
The headers are a=column1

Sorry but must advise using a different program as filter for export.
I do not know if importing data to a Base file would export in fixed
length or if it did, would be correct.

Of course some database engine is by far more suitable, particularly when it

I think Paul got my problem. LibreOffice shouldn't add any spaces in the
