How-To Convert XLS Files using Pascal Script, Example 1

https://limagito.com/converting-xls-files/

First example: convert a xls(x) file to a tabbed txt file

1) Add the following ‘Filename Include Filter’ so we are 100% sure we’ll only handle xls(x) files

2) Add PS (Pascal Script) as Destination

3) Add the following Pascal Script

Const
  CsvPath = 'C:\Test\OUT_XLS\';
Begin
  psExitCode := 0;
  // ... add your code here
  // 2 = Text based file, #09 is tab delimited, 0 is UTF8 text encoded
  If psConvertXlsFile(psFilePath + psFileName, CsvPath + ChangeFileExt(psFileName, '.txt'), 2, #09, 0, 'Run results') Then
  Begin
    psExitCode := 1;
    psLogWrite(1, '', 'Converted ' + psFilePath + psFileName);
  End
  Else
    psLogWrite(1, '', 'Convert error ' + psFilePath + psFileName);
 
  // psConvertXlsFile(psFilePath + psFileName, CsvPath + ChangeFileExt(psFileName, '.csv'), 2, ',', 0, 'Run results');
End.
