<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 579128 by <a href="/recipes/users/4173351/">Vasudev Ram</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/excel/">excel</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/formats/">formats</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/openpyxl/">openpyxl</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pdf/">pdf</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/python/">python</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/xlsx/">xlsx</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/xtopdf/">xtopdf</a>). </p> <p>This recipe shows how the basics of to convert the text data in a Microsoft Excel file (XLSX format) to PDF (Portable Document Format). It uses openpyxl to read the XLSX file and xtopdf to generate the PDF file.</p>

It lets the user specify the delimiter via one of two command-line options - an ASCII code or an ASCII character. As Unix filters tend to do, it can operate either on standard input or on input filenames given as command-line arguments. In the case of multiple inputs via files, each input goes to a separate PDF output file.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 579093 by <a href="/recipes/users/4173351/">Vasudev Ram</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/formats/">formats</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/numbers/">numbers</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/numerical/">numerical</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/python/">python</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/python2/">python2</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/representation/">representation</a>). </p> <p>This recipe shows how to convert numeric strings into integers, i.e. it emulates the Python int() function - partially. It does not handle negative numbers, floating point numbers, or numbers in other bases than decimal. It is only meant as a simple demo of the steps by which a string containing an integer value, is converted into an actual integer, in Python (and similarly, in other languages).</p>

Revision 7. </p> <p>In <em>The Art of Unix Programming</em>, Eric S. Raymond describes a data file metaformat based on RFC 822. [http://www.faqs.org/docs/artu/ch05s02.html#id2902039] This is a simple parser for that format.</p>
