Does anyone know how to load a CSV file into
OpenOffice Calc from a console without the .csv
extension? Here's what I've tried..
no .csv:
ooffice2 -calc ~/Desktop/sampling_data
with .csv:
ooffice2 -calc ~/Desktop/sampling_data.csv
With no .csv I get the ASCII Filter Options and loads
the file in Writer. With the .csv I get Text Import
options and it loads into Calc no problem.
James,
This is an all too common problem which limits automation. You're
forced to use .csv as the soffice file format detection routine doesn't
trust the user's specified extension association (in windows) and/or
doesn't do smart delimiter detection before letting Writer always win.
