I have done it in the past by loading the .csv into a spreadsheet program, saving a selection as a PDF file, and then converting the PDF file into text using something like okular or pdftotext. If you do it this way there are a couple of things to be careful of: 1) Just save a selection to be converted to PDF. Some spreadsheet programs try to save a lot of white space, and take forever to finish. I've had this problem with Libreoffice. There may be a problem if there are a zillion columns, because you will get it spread over a lot of pages. There might be a way around that with the PDF settings, but I don't know what it is. 2) You may have to play with programs that will move PDF to text to get the right formatting. I've had reasonable luck with using okular; pdftotext tended to have problems with wide pages. billo On Sun, 2019-08-04 at 20:05 -0400, Bob Goodwin wrote: > How can I convert a .csv file to text in a Fedora system. > > Bob > > -- > Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA > http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD > box83 FEDORA-30/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3 > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Fedora Code of Conduct: > https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
