Read Excel Sheet Names (XLS)

This node reads a spread sheet and provides the contained sheet names at its output port.
The performance of the reader node is limited (due to the underlying library of the Apache POI project). Reading large files takes a very long time and uses a lot of memory (especially files in xlsx format).

Options

File to read

Enter a valid file name. You can also choose a previously selected file from the drop-down list, or select a file from the "Browse..." dialog. Supported are xls and xlsx file formats. (Note: reading large xlsx files is very slow and memory consuming.)

Output Ports

The sheet names contained in the workbook.
