pl-office-convert
is a ChRIS ds plugin which converts Excel and OpenOffice spreadsheet file
formats (*.{xls,xlsx,ods}
) to the plaintext comma-separated values (*.csv
) format.
In pl-office-convert
version 0.0.1 there are no options.
Every file in inputdir/
ending with .ods
, .xlsx
, or .xls
gets processed and written to
outputdir/
by the same filename but with its file extension replaced with .csv
.
Every other file in inputdir/
is simply duplicated to outputdir/
.
WARNING: only the first sheet of every file is converted!

This plugin will eventually be a generic office format converter, being able to convert both ways from office file format to plaintext and vice versa. But for now it is a simple single-purpose program.
