Open .csv by specifying column widths on command line

#1

Hi Paul,
I've tried to create an ods file to use as template as suggested.
I've set my intended column widths in it, enabled line wrapping, then I saved it.

Then I ran:
soffice -n template.ods --infilter=CSV:44,34,UTF8 myfile.csv

Unfortunately what actually happens is that LibreOffice opens two files:
- a new file based on my template, which contains no data
- my csv file, without applying my template to it

Calc template files end in .ots

Although I used Writer to make my macros, Writer does not export CSV files correctly, or should I say without spaces as Calc does, I guess you will have to make your macros in Calc. (Version: 6.3.5.2).

Hope this helps.
