In Qt, how to read data in table of an office document (Writer document) ?

Hi all,
I stuck in trouble now. I want to export data from a Writer document to a Calc document. But the data in Writer document is put in table. How can we read them ?
Thanks

I suppose you talk about oowriter and oocalc.
Documents are stored in a compresded (zip). When you unzip an sxw document, content is in content.xml file.
You'll have to use a QDomDocument to get the document structure. Somewhere you'll find your table.
Examine the content.xml from a sample oocalc file. You'll find <table:table-cell> items. Now you can use Qt XML Dom classes to copy from one to the other :)
Never patch not working code. Rewrite it !
Never patch badly designed classes. Recreate them cleanly.

You could also check if the code from the OpenOffice filters from KOffice can make life easier for your (depending on licence compatability between the KOffice filter code and your code of course)
