diff-xls-text - Diff the text of two Office spreadsheets (.ods, .xls, .xlsx) as two directories of CSV files
This document describes version 0.002 of diff-xls-text (from Perl distribution App-DiffXlsText), released on 2020-10-27.
Use like you would use the Unix command diff:
% diff-xls-text [options] <FILE>...
This is a wrapper for the Unix command diff. It assumes that each input file is an Office spreadsheet (.ods, .xls, or .xlsx) and tries to convert the file to a directory of CSV files (where each CSV file is converted from a single worksheet) using xls2csv. It then passes the converted directories to diff -ruN command.
diff -ruN
If set to true, do not cleanup temporary directories.
String. Can be used to set path to diff command. The defaultl is diffwc if available in PATH, or diff.
