Thank you.
May I know the version of your OO and the operating system it runs on ?
I use Linux/SuSE 11.1 running OO 3.0.0.9-1.9

Oggetto: Re: [R] website address for the pseuso-XLS files
 
To be more precise: These seem to be files in XML (Extended Markup
Language) format, or a variant thereof, not HTML. This is understood
by recent versions of Excel. The "xls" extension is deceptive here!

Maura: You originally wrote

  "Apparently it is in XLS format (this is the extension of the
   downloaded file). However, I cannot open it with OpenOffife
   spreadsheet program and Excel itself cannot separate the
   columns as it does when a true XLS file is loaded."

I had no problem myself opening them with oocalc (the OpenOffice
spreadsheet program), and I get a table (which looks just like
similar tables I was able to view earlier, in a browser, on the
mirWalk website). However, this would not allow me to save/export
in (say) CSV format.

But, by highlighting and them pasting into a text file, I was then
able to convert to CSV format. I shall send the results privately
to Maura.

Ted.
