Pipe To Excel
=============
[](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/hymkor/pipe2excel)
`pipe2excel` sends the contents of STDIN or specified files to Microsoft Excel as CSV data.
- Each CSV value is inserted as a string.
- However, values matching `/^\-?[1-9]\d*(\.\d*[1-9])?$/` are treated as numbers.
- The CSV encoding is automatically detected, supporting both UTF-8 and the system's current code page.
Install
-------
You can install pipe2excel in the following ways:
### Downloading the Binary
Download the binary package from the [Releases] page and extract the executable.
[Releases]: https://github.com/hymkor/pipe2excel/releases
### Using `go install`
```
go install github.com/hymkor/pipe2excel@latest
```
### Using Scoop (Windows)
```
scoop install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hymkor/pipe2excel/master/pipe2excel.json
```
or
```
scoop bucket add hymkor https://github.com/hymkor/scoop-bucket
scoop install hymkor/pipe2excel
```
How to Use
----------
### OLE Mode (Windows Only)
```
C:\> pipe2excel foo.csv bar.csv
```
```
C:\> type foo.csv | pipe2excel
```
This launches Microsoft Excel and opens the CSV files.
### Non-OLE Mode (Windows & Linux)
```
C:\> pipe2excel -o foo.xlsx foo.csv
```
It does not start Microsoft Excel. Instead, it creates `foo.xlsx` directly.
### Options
* `-f string` → Field Sperator (default `,`)
* `-o string` → Save to a file and exit immediately without starting Excel
* `-v` → Show version information
