C is a subset of C++, so libxls should work in your C++ program. – ladaghini Jan 04 '12 at 12:46

1`c` isn't a subset of `c++`, but they're close. Compile with `g++` (which can compile `c` code too) and see if that works. – mange Jan 04 '12 at 13:09

i use libxls and made a mix with c and c++ code:
//my c++ code
extern "C" {
#include "xls.h"
}
...

I've found the Excel Format lib, which works on windows and linux. It's got some caveats but if you're looking for some basic functionalities that should get you going.

the file format is documented here if you would like to write your own parser for it

i cant view any info in this site :( , and your answer means no library exists ? or a more easy way that make own parser ? – richie-torres Jan 04 '12 at 14:00

hmm, might be temporarily down, that site is where i usually get all my file format docs from. and I have no idea about the existence of such a library, was just providing you with an alternative option if you cannot find one. – Stowelly Jan 04 '12 at 14:06
