js-harb's Issues

SocialCalc: \c \b \n are unescaped

Minimal example, round-tripping CSV through SocialCalc:

echo 'c:\>dir,cls' | j - -E | j -

Result is c\c\b>dir,cls while it should be back to c:\>dir,cls.

PRN files

Any plans for Lotus file support?

Global leak

Hi

I am using j in a module I am writing and when testing it complains about global leak which is coming from 20_deps.js in the bits directory. Is there no other way of exposing variables?

Thanks

use https://github.com/mafintosh/csv-parser for csv parsing

faster than babyparse

Wish: basic usage documentation

Currently the README punts users to read the documentation on XLS parsing to see how this CSV parser works. There's a lot of XLS-specific stuff there that doesn't apply here. There the docs show that parsing is done through a global variable named XLS. We might assume that the corresponding variable used here is named CSV, since it's not documented, but it's apparently named HARB instead.

It's details like this that make it valuable to have more complete documentation on how the CSV parsing works in this project.

error setting property of Buffer.length

I just got the following error trying to use J programatically:

$ j --version
XLS 0.7.5 ; XLSX 0.7.12 ; HARB 0.0.7
$ node --version
v5.0.0
$ node
> var j = require("j")
> j.readFile('example.xls')
TypeError: Cannot set property length of [object Object] which has only a getter

The error is being produced on cpexcel.js line 906, upon trying to set the length of a Buffer object.

mdb = new Buffer(mdl);
...
mdb.length = 2 * len;

This happens in node v4.2.1 as well, but not v0.12.4.

Fields ending with numbers being converted to dates

Hi,

With harb 0.0.6 it seems that fields ending with a number are being converting into dates.

For example:

test.csv:

Address 1,Town
Test,Test

$ j test.csv -J
Sheet1
[{"1/1/01":"Test","Town":"Test"}]

Expected output:

Sheet1
[{"Address 1":"Test","Town":"Test"}]

The issue affects data like Address 1, but not with Address_1, Address1 or Address 1 foo. It also affects individual data items as well as column headers.

Thanks for the great work!

export socialcalc formulas to excel

Ethercalc fails to export formulas to excel.

2 issues are involved

1. This fix is required mcsf/js-xlsx@d439645
2. SheetJS/js-harb does not support exporting of socialcalc formulas
   the formula would need to be copied into the object.

Fix
I am happy to fix this - but with https://github.com/SheetJS pull requests are being ignored - Abandoned?

Development

Hello

I was trying to fix issue #6 on a Windows box however even though I can use 'make' on my system it is failing when running make init with following error.

Any help would be appreciated.

Phone numbers lose leading 0

Hi,

When parsing a csv, a field containing a phonenumber such as '01234567890' loses its leading '0' to become '1234567890'.

Could we ensure that js-harb always produces strings, without any other conversions?

Thanks.
