Basically, the new FilterOptions value has two boolean values appended to the end after Cell Format Codes for the four Columns (5), and one integer value between the Character Set (3) and the Number of First Line (4). The new integer value is the language ID, while the two boolean values are for the “Quoted field as text” and “Detect special numbers” options in this order.

The usable language ID’s are listed here:

That wiki documentation page should probably be updated once this feature lands…

sometextnumbernumber

where columns are separated by tabs, and cells may be padded by spaces. In the Calc sheet I want to get rid of the spaces and have the numbers as numbers.

The macro I wanted to have is like:

sub main
dim doc2 as object
doc2 = loadClusteringCSV(“file:///input.txt”)
end sub

sub loadClusteringCSV(byval url as string) as object
dim doc as object
dim props(1) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
‘from http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Spreadsheets/Filter_Options
props(0).name = “FilterName”
props(0).value = “Text – txt – csv (StarCalc)”
props(1).name = “FilterOptions”
props(1).value = “9,34,0,1,”
doc = StarDesktop.loadComponentFromURL(url, “_blank”, 0, props)
‘ see http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/frame/XComponentLoader.html
loadClusteringCSV = doc
end sub

Actually, I’m not sure if it’s indeed working from macro. If you could show me (either here or via email) a code snippet setting import options for csv document, I can take a look and see how it’s working. Thanks!

How can I enable the special numbers option from a macro?

Thanks,
Gábor

Thanks a lot for your last improvements.
We import a lot of .csv files at work ;-)
