Re: ODF file handling

Hi Hena,

Cpan seems to have quite a few OpenOffice related Modules. I think the one you want to look at is OpenOffice::OOCBuilder "OOCBuilder is a Perl OO interface to create OpenOffice spreadsheets.". I have not used OpenOffice::OOCBuilder, but it seems well documented and has a couple of example scripts.

hope this helps.

Martin

Only problem is that the docs on that one only talk of the earlier version of the Open Office file format (sxc). I'd prefer to use odf.	[reply]

Hi Hena, I have not read all of the documentation behind this but according to The OpenOffice.org Newsletter OpenOffice-OODoc "supports both the OOo 1.0 and the ODF.". This sounds more like a solution for you. Take a look at OpenOffice::OODoc::Intro. Hope this helps. Martin	[reply]

Yep, I found that earlier when I was looking. Perhaps I should've mentioned it... Oh well, too late now :D. There is a problem though. That has low level xml parser for odf in general (OpenOffice::OODoc::XPath). Which would enable me to do what I want. However it would be quite a task as it is a low level xml parser for odf. There are some higher level modules in the OpenOffice::OODoc. However the main high level one is for text documents and not for spreadsheets. And that's a problem. But I hadn't seen that newsletter. Interesting... thanks for that.	[reply]
