I've got a question. Is it possible to parse xls files by a coordinates? I've searched some npm modules but the biggest part of them are converting to json or csv. So does anybody know how to do that?
use node-xlsx
It will help you to parse ".xlsx" i.e.
const workSheetsFromFile=xlsx.parse(__dirname+'/myFile.xlsx');
Read the documentation for more functionality.

Hello friends and colleagues...
A quick question How do Iconvert JSON file into PO?
I had a PO file with relevant translations, then I converted it to JSON on some website after that wrote a little script in NodeJS to translate keys via Google translate API and now I just want to convert this translated JSON back to PO...
Is there any easy way? I don't seem to find any working npm packages or anything else...
Please Help,
Thanks
Online tools like https://localise.biz/free/converter/po-to-json can help.
To translate using command line there's an open source repo on Git- https://github.com/2gis/i18n-json-po
script that reads CSV files and gets headers and filter by specific column, I have tried researching on it but nothing of quality I have managed to get.
Please any help will be deeply appreciated
There's a standard csv library included with Python.
https://docs.python.org/3/library/csv.html
It will automatically create a dictionary of arrays where the first row in the CSV determines the keys in the dict.
You can also follow pandas.read_csv for the same.
I need to read xlsx in nodejs. Xlsx contains text with accents and apostrophes and so on. Then i have to save the text in json file.
What are the best practices to perform that task?
Stage 1 - take a look at this module node-xlsx or more robust and possibly better for your needs xlsx.
Stage 2 - Writing the file to JSON - if the module can return a JSON format then great. If you use xlsx it has an option to JSON --> take a look here.
Since you may need to actually strip and/or protect special accents etc. you may need to validate the data which is returned before producing a JSON file.
As to actually writing a JSON file, there are a huge amount of NPM modules for the task.
I want to compare the data in two .csv files.Have to compare the updated data between these two .csv file using nodejs.
Is ther any possibilities to do it in Nodejs.
Thanks,I am very newbie to this.
It will be easiest using one of the following modules:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/csv
https://www.npmjs.com/package/tsv
or other that you find in:
https://www.npmjs.com/browse/keyword/csv
https://www.npmjs.com/browse/keyword/tsv
(don't worry if it's CSV or TSV - just make sure that you use the correct delimiter which is comma in your case).
I'm trying to receive some data in csv format, what I read is that StrongLoop only works with json data. So can I receive csv and transform to json to process the data?
Thanks.
This isn't a StrongLoop specific question. It is a general Node.js and data question. As such, I will answer in a generic fashion, but it is applicable to StrongLoop.
You will need to use a library to convert the delimited file into a JavaScript object. There are many packages on npm for reading/parsing/transforming/etc. CSV files: search npm.
The package that I have used extensively is David's CSV parser.
These libraries will allow you to parse and transform CSV into JavaScript objects (JSON).
Beware, however, that most CSV that I have dealt with does not conform to well formatted CSV. They don't properly escape quotes, quote strings with delimiters, etc.
