Hi,

I just discover Ultimate++ and I worry if there is some library class or function to read Excel files (xls) in an array or them convert to CSV format ?

The xls files I'll have to read are very simple and mostly text-oriented.

Thansk.

IMHO you can use some MS OLE/COM/Whatever_they_use_now interface to access Excel's functionality and use excel itself for the conversion.

a) you need Excel (windows only)
b) .NET will be probably much better platform to get into such things.
c) I don't follow MS technologies, so I can't help more.

Another longshot may be to try use command line and Open Office calc to convert the files. While I do use Open Office almost daily, I don't know if you can run such conversion from command line or by some other means, sorry.

d) Look into openoffice sources.... (but beware of licence).
