Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc - Multiple font effects in a single cell

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 :)

Maybe the function MID() is what you are looking for?

=MID("abcdefg";A2;A3-A2+1)

Menu/Help/LibreOffice help (F1) - Index tab - search term: MID.
"
