Writer is one of them. Calc supports regular expressions as well. I have tested dozends of different csv flavours with all types of text, numbers and subtypes of numbers. With one exception they imported all well. The exception was $(123.98) for a negative amount which could be fixed with a simple regex replacing "^\$\(" with "($". Calc is an excellent csv import tool which imports correct cell values where other spreadsheet apps import text and try to interprete the text on the fly. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
