New plugin: xlsreader

[SamuraiCrow]

I could try it on my unregistered MorphOS box if you have example files to use with it. I don't have Excel at home at all.

[BeChris]

I prepared a test_xlsreader executable and an exemple.xls for you to test.
Could you PM me to give your email address?

[plouf]

i can also test in morphos aos4 aos3 but need plugin (can not build it )
make a link so anyone can test not neccessary need to pm him

[BeChris]

OK so I prepared for everyone a test package for MorphOS and AmigaOS3 (with and without fpu).
I didn't compile yet for AmigaOS4.

1. Download Hollywood player for your platform at Hollywood download page
2. Download the test applet : test_xlsreader.hwa
3. Download an example xls file and put it in the same directory as test_xlsreader.hwa
4. Download xlsreader.hwp for your platform and put it in LIBS:Hollywood directory:
   • Plugin for MorphOS
   • Plugin for AmigaOS3 (without FPU)
   • Plugin for AmigaOS3 (with FPU)
5. Go to directory where you have put both test_xlsreader.hwa and example.xls and use Hollywood player to execute the applet

In the same console you should see output beginning with following sequence:

Code: Select all

param1  :  No error occurred!

param1  : {
  JUGE ARBITRE  : {
    0  : {
      0  :  ACTIVITE ANNUELLE DE JUGE ARBITRE
      1  :  
    } //  0
    1  : {
      0  :

      19  :  
      20  :  
      21  :  
      22  :  
    } //  1
    2  : {
      0  :  Ce formulaire doit être retourné à votre Ligue au plus tard le 30 septembre de chaque année sportive
      1  :  Visa du Président de la CRA avant envoi à la FFT (pour les niveaux 3)
      2  :  
    } //  2

Many thanks in advance and I'm waiting for your feedback

Crashes here on MorphOS... HW Player loading bar goes to 10% and then it meditates.

This kind of hit in the debug log: http://jpv.wmhost.com/testi/xlshwplayer.txt

[BeChris]

Many thanks for your feedback jPV.
Unfortunately I don't have the knowledge to use such output you provided.

In the meantime I succeed in installing a MorphOS 3.13 system in qemu.
So I hope to be able to do the test on my own.

[BeChris]

Yes it works !

You can test again with updated plugin to confirm.

[jPV]

Yeah, it behaves well now, but output looks a bit different if that matters.

Code: Select all

Many thanks jPV for your feedback.
It's my first attemp to develop on modern Amiga like platforms.
I was so happy that it succeed that I didn't notice the different output : I will check it out.

I managed to generate a cross compilation toolchain to target AmigaOS 4.1 from Linux.
If someone would like to test with AmigaOS 4.1 version.

See U.
