[Question] How to set the quotePrefix for the cell #420

Closed mikhailworkpath closed 2 years ago

mikhailworkpath commented 2 years ago

Hey everyone, I have a question about the option quotePrefix to hide the quote in xlsx editors. I found this option here: https://github.com/weshatheleopard/rubyXL/blob/fb661a86dd312bd735bef88a6854951f2f5bed56/lib/rubyXL/objects/cell_style.rb#L44 How can I apply this setting quotePrefix with a true value for a cell, I can not find an example or test for it. Thanks!

Judging by the fact that you are able to read the code, you are a software developer. Figuring out how to do things is the entire point of software developer's job. Asking questions "how to do it?" on the Internet is a helpful shortcut, yes, but github issue reporting tool is certainly not the place to do it; it is the place to report issues with the product itself, not issues with your understanding of how to work with the product.

But, you made good first stride: you determined that the attribute you are looking for is on the XF object. Look around the code and see if you can find other places that manipulate other attributes of XF object and try writing your own code in a similar fashion.
