[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51512] of-io: Missing or wrong types when using xlsread with OCT interface

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #51512 (project octave):

(found some spare time)
Comparing LO53's sheet1.xml and Excel2013's sheet1.xml it turns out that Excel
writes a different attribute order than LO.
Luckily the 'r=' (cell address) and 't=' tags are always in that order (r
first).

Experimenting further I saw that probably half of the regexps can be dropped
as cell addresses and cell content can be obtained in one regexp and separated
using reshape. Some additional checks are required to avoid out-of-phase
matches (which would be killing for reshape). Maybe I can finish this this
week, or maybe next week. After Aug 6 I'm 2 week w/o much web access.

Anyway I'm happy that the xlsx read part of the OCT interface gets some
attention.
