Description Tammo Spalink 2006-04-20 14:30:25 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Loading the applix file causes the following error dialog message:

> Parse error while reading Applix file.
> Expression did not specify target cell

Adding "g_print ("line=[%s]\n", ptr);" to the main import loop results in the
last few lines being:

> line=[(Gf||) C!D33; 0  =E32+E9]
> line=[(F2|P12|) C!E33; 0  =E30+E32]
> line=[('DN,3||) C!BA33: SM [B]:]
> line=[(DN||) C!YC36: ]

Finally, the load is aborted and I get an empty sheet.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

When you look at that file in applix, is there really a YC column?
That would mean that you have about 680 columns.

A regularly compiled Gnumeric supports only 256 columns.
Comment 2 Tammo Spalink 2006-04-20 15:27:30 UTC
Not with useful data in it...  It seems that applix lists all columns
up to ZZ, but my sheet only uses up until BA...

I looked specifically for C!YC36 and it is empty.

C!YC36 is empty, but has a format.

Fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major release. Thank you for your bug report.
