Description

  • When I export xls with rows and then use program file to see headers results are:
    Composite Document File V2 Document, Cannot read section info

  • Otherwise when I run program file against xls generated by Libreoffice results show more information:

    Composite Document File V2 Document, Little Endian, Os: Windows, Version 1.0, Code page: -535, Revision Number: 1, Total Editing Time: 00:24, Create Time/Date: Mon Sep 7 17:51:50 2015, Last Saved Time/Date: Mon Sep 7 17:52:13 2015

Research direction

Start by reproducing the XLS export with rows and comparing the output of the file utility against an XLS generated by LibreOffice. Trace the export path responsible for the XLS file; done means the generated file reports section metadata instead of “Cannot read section info”.
