Re: [libreoffice-users] convert xlsx to CSV (and utf8?)

Thank you for responding.  Yes it opens without issue.

Yet another look at the conversion details made me notice I needed 
changes.  Below are two incarnations.  For one thing I had left out 
column formatting, which I guess is required?  No difference in any event.

apb@yellow:/usr/local/src/greetonix/src$ 
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin 
-env:UserInstallation=file:///tmp/libreoffice-1 --headless --nolockcheck 
--convert-to txt:Text \(encoded\):UTF8 --infilter=MS Excel 
97:44,34,76,1,1/2/2/2,1033,true,false KGI_Discontinued.xlsx
Error: source file could not be loaded
Error: source file could not be loaded
Error: source file could not be loaded
convert /usr/local/src/greetonix/src/KGI_Discontinued.xlsx -> 
/usr/local/src/greetonix/src/KGI_Discontinued.txt using filter : Text
Error: Please verify input parameters... (SfxBaseModel::impl_store 
<file:///usr/local/src/greetonix/src/KGI_Discontinued.txt> failed: 0xc10)

Also tried:

apb@yellow:/usr/local/src/greetonix/src$ 
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin 
-env:UserInstallation=file:///tmp/libreoffice_1 --infilter='MS Excel 
97:44,34,76,1,1/2/2/2,1033,true,false' --headless --nolockcheck 
--convert-to 'csv:Text - txt - csv (StarCalc):44,34,76,1' 
KGI_Discontinued.xlsx
*Error: source file could not be loaded*

apb@yellow:/usr/local/src/greetonix/src$ ll KGI_Discontinued.xlsx
-rw-rw-r-- 2 apb apb 88334 Aug 18 16:00 KGI_Discontinued.xlsx


Which is an improvement, but not the solution.  All I really did was 
rearrange the order of the parameters, change a hyphen to an underscore 
in the tmp file path and change double quotes to single quotes.  I think 
I recall reading somewhere that order matters so that's what likely 
eliminated the "verify input parameters" message.  You may also notice I 
changed output from utf8 to csv. I need *both* utf8 & csv.

Maybe I need yet another rearrangement to eliminate the file load error?

Thank you!
