I have a semicolon-separated csv file over here, and I would like to be able to look at it with gnumeric. Sadly, gnumeric does not read the semicolon as a separator.
I have tried:
- appending
sep=;
on the first line - clicking through the GUI menus
- using sed to replace the semicolons with commas (sadly, that leads to breakage, since by document occasionally uses commas within cells
What else can I do?
In recent versions of
gnumeric
a newImport Data
tool is available. To launch the tool chooseData|Import Data|Import Text File...
from the menu.Import Data File
dialog choose your file and hitOpen
.Separated
format and clickForward
Forward
once again to choose the columns to import.Finish
to complete.
