is it possible to store a libreoffice calc macro from the command line on linux ?
if so how please
If you are talking of BASIC “macros”:
They are stored module by module in the ‘basic/Standard’ folder of your user profile as ModuleName.xba files. If you want to insert a macro into an existing module, you will have to use a text editor. The files contain plain text (Unix style) enclosed in a bit of XML.
Better abstain from this as @karolus advised.
additional to @Lupp
…but unfortunatly you have not only to dump the raw-Basic-code – no – you need to replace widely used chars by their xml-Entities:
& →→ &
' →→ '
" →→ "
etcpp.
not only that – you need also to edit some files around with Meta-data.
and the moral of the story : don’t go this way!!
Thanks! I should have thought of that replacement needs (and mention them). On the other hand I sometiimes tampered with the basic/Standard folder and did not experience errors possibly caused by unadapted meta information. Do you know a text describibg this aspect to more detail?
