Gnumeric is an excellent spreadsheet. It uses an XML format and saves in a XML type file. It will import Excel directly and has a very flexible .txt file importer.
One of the most unusual features is the ability to do “Find & Replace” using Regular Expressions. To my knowledge it is the only spreadsheet that will do that. I have used it for years and although some jobs are easier in Excel it has some features that are unique.
Cool, installing it now!
Wow. I downloaded Gnumeric but don't see anything about Regular Expressions in Find and Replace. The HELP system doesn't seem to mention it.
Does it use the UNIX or POSIX standards? Do you have a link to documentation for its use within Gnumeric? THANKS IN ADVANCE.
I guess you can tell I'm intrigued. RE would make a spreadsheet so much more powerful. I often extract data out of workbooks, run TextPad for the power of Regular Expressions, then import it back.
