Well, if it's possible to just write your own parser, why not just ask Stefan to enable the .ods and .xls extensions?

Firstly, xls is a binary format, not going to bother with it. Secondly, xlsx is only supported by Excel 2007. Thirdly, ods can be read and written by both Excel and OpenOffice Calc, as I said in the first post.

And it isn't possible to write my own until I decompressfile will work properly.

And doesn't it not work properly, because file I/O doesn't work with unapproved extensions? My suggestion was to ask Stefan to add those extensions, so that you COULD write it.

Tried renaming to .txt, didn't work. I'd think Stefan would make .zip workable if that function exists.
