Greetings. I maintain a spreadsheet with Gnumeric. I want to be able to use the data in the spreadsheet from a shell script (using awk). The easiest way of manipulating the data from the shell script is if it's in tab-separated values (TSV) format. I'd prefer not to have to go through the lengthy export-to-text process in Gnumeric every time I update the spreadsheet; I'd rather that my shell script do this for me. I could write something in XSL to convert the native Gnumeric XML file to TSV, but maybe there's an easier way. Specifically: 1) Is there any way of invoking Gnumeric from the command line so that it loads a particular spreadsheet, exports it to TSV format, and quits? 2) If not, has someone else already written a freely available program or XSL template which converts Gnumeric XML to TSV?
