using Syncfusion.XlsIO;
using System.IO;
using System.Reflection;
namespace XlsIO_Supports_TSV
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (ExcelEngine excelEngine = new ExcelEngine())
{
//Instantiate the excel application object.
IApplication application = excelEngine.Excel;
//The workbook is opened.
IWorkbook workbook;
//Open existing workbook with data entered
Assembly assembly = typeof(Program).GetTypeInfo().Assembly;
Stream fileStream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("XlsIO_Supports_TSV.Sample.xlsx");
workbook = application.Workbooks.Open(fileStream, ExcelOpenType.Automatic);
//The first worksheet object in the worksheets collection is accessed.
IWorksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
//Saving the workbook as TSV file
Stream stream = File.Create("Output.tsv");
workbook.SaveAs(stream, "\t");
stream.Close();
//Re-Opening the saved TSV file
workbook = application.Workbooks.Open("Output.tsv");
//Saving the workbook as xlsx file
stream = File.Create("Output.xlsx");
workbook.SaveAs(stream);
}
}
}
}
