POLE - portable library for structured storage
|
|
|
|
POLE is a portable C++ library to create and read structured storage. With a
|
|
structured storage, you can store files inside another file, or you can even
|
|
create complex directory tree, if you want to. The structured storage created by
|
|
POLE is compatible with Microsoft structured storage, also sometimes called as
|
|
OLE Compound Document, which are used among others in Microsoft Office. However,
|
|
POLE has the advantage that it's portable (i.e you can read or write a
|
|
structured storage in any supported platform), you don't need to rely on Windows
|
|
library.

Source code is available at http://developer.berlios.de/projects/pole/.
|
|
Please always use the latest stable version.

|
========
|
|
|
|
To compile POLE, you need a C++ compiler, with standard C++ library which
|
|
supports STL (Standard Template Library). On Linux and other Unices, g++ will do
|
|
the job.
|
|
|
|
POLE is just a library, you have to integrate it as part of your
|
|
application/project. Since it consists of one source file and one header file,
|
|
it doesn't make much sense to compile POLE as separate library (either static or
|
|
dynamic). Simply add these files to your project and you're done.
|
|
|
|
The source tarball of POLE demonstrates the use of POLE to build poledump, a
|
|
small utility to extract any stream inside a structured storage. If you use g++
|
|
as the compiler, you can compile poledump using the following command:
|
|
|
|
g++ -o poledump pole.cpp poledump.cpp
|
|
|
|
You may use poledump like the example below:
|
|
|
|
poledump budget.xls Workbook result.xls
|
|
|
|
The above command will extract a stream named Workbook inside Excel document
|
|
(budget.xls) and save it as result.xls. File result.xls will still be recognized
|
|
as a valid workbook (in raw format). Launch Microsoft Excel, open this file, and
|
|
convince yourself.
