I put the data in a file called tabel1.csv Then imported the data into Calc (Vertical Bar is 124) The following command loaded the file into a calc spreadsheet. libreoffice --infilter=CSV:124,34,76,1 tabel1.csv Then copied it into writer. Tried to do it with --writer, but it results in just text rather than a table. Might be a way to do it directly, but don't know myself. Do more with calc.
I'd just have the c program make standard csv format file with , or ; but Vertical bar does work with the 124 code. Then just copy it from calc into writer.
