XLS File Format

Hi,

Does anyone know a library or tool to write xls files directly from a C
application running on QNX6 (or QNX4)?
Thanks in advance

quotes

Not sure if this will help, but it is quite easy to write .CVS files
which are readable by just about any spreadsheet program.
The format is as below:

field11,field12,field13…
field21,field22,field23…

or you can put the fields in quites

I haven’t seen a C library, but there is a PHP package,
http://pear.php.net/package/Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer, and a Perl package, http://search.cpan.org/dist/Spreadsheet-WriteExcel/

I didn’t have PHP on my system, but the perl package seems to have worked with the perl 5.8 I had
installed.

Thank you for your answer, but I need to put more than one sheet in the
same file.
CSV doesn’t support that feature.
At the end I can create a CSV file for each sheet, but I’ll try to avoid
this approach.

Thanks Collin,

I’ll investigate both packages.

There is also a project for Python … use google.

That one seems to only read files?

You could also try the Excel XML file format, and use some XML library to
fill in the data
