Description
Hi,
I have been testing widely xls reading with gdal 1.9 in QGIS.
Where ogrinfo reads data correctly, QGIS can't load the datasource when:
- ressource path has spaces or non ascii characters
OR
- Ressource file name has spaces or non ascii characters
OR
- Ressource Data sheet name has spaces or non ascii characters (1 misnamed sheet is sufficient to break any opening)
OR
- field names has spaces or non ascii characters OR start with a number.
I assume some part of the error are due to QGIS since OGR info works well. If not, please tell, I will close and create a ticket in GDAL tracker.
PS: new GDAL 1.10 xlsx driver only fails with datasheet names.
Cheers
