Re: [libreoffice-users] What does LibreOffice recognize as a column delimiter?

I put the data in a file called tabel1.csv
Then imported the data into Calc (Vertical Bar is 124)
The following command loaded the file into a calc spreadsheet.
libreoffice --infilter=CSV:124,34,76,1 tabel1.csv
Then copied it into writer.
Tried to do it with --writer, but it results in just text rather than a table.
Might be a way to do it directly, but don't know myself. Do more with 
calc.

I'd just have the c program make standard csv format file with , or ; but 
Vertical bar does work with the 124 code. Then just copy it from calc 
into writer.
