I was looking for a C++ library to read/write Microsoft Excel files. I found several C/C++ APIs which I have no success with them on Windows. (on linux everything is OK). Finally I’ve managed to compile xlslib which is an open source one and looks good.

But here is the problem: There is absolutely no documentation/tutorial/example nor even working application using this library. Well, before you ask, I should say “Yes” I just Googled it around a lot. (Google is kidding me || I’m doing wrong search || There is no documentation)

My question is: “How do I open a spreadsheed using xlslib and read data from ?”

Thanks

    The xlslib readme states : ” A few test files in the test folder
    demonstrate usage.”

    If you meant libxls, they have an example (simple program that converts xls to csv) at http://libxls.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/libxls/trunk/libxls/src/xls2csv.c?view=markup.
