Hi MiguelAngel, That's cool.
Just this last weekend I spent a lot of time trying to do exactly that - using shell script - reading line by line and then extracting the alphanums from a csv. This is way too fast and easy. Thanks,It won't address the "Multiple font effects in a single cell" issue. (Right?) BTW, I do not understand one thing. imo, from ease point of view the world moved from scripts to spreadsheets etc applications and now everybody wants to program them!? Thanks, Regards, Viral Orpe :) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Processor : Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual Core E6600 CPU 3.00GHz Memory : 4GB, DDR3 OS : Linux Mint 12 Lisa - Kernel Linux 3.0.0-13-generic (i686) LibreOffice : LibreOffice 3.4.3 OOO340m1 (Build:302) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________________________ From: MiguelAngel <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, October 19, 2012 3:24 PM Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc - Multiple font effects in a single cell El 19/10/12 10:00, david_lynch escribió: > I want to have a cell in Calc with multiple font effects, which > characters get which font depends on the values in other cells.
