Can Corona/Lua read doc/pdf/excel/... files?

Hi There,

Does anyone know how to utilizes corona/lua to be able to read files in those formats? I heard xcode has libraries that can do that. I wonder whether this feature is also available in corona/lua?

No we don’t support doc/pdf/excel files.

you could export the spreadsheet and then read it in as a flat file.
corona has some examples of reading in a text file.
look on there example page. [import]uid: 11094 topic_id: 692 reply_id: 18051[/import]

I can’t read a text file.
I tried the following code,

local myFile = io.open( “test.txt”, “r” )
print(myFile)

the “test.txt” is in my root
i got print(file) as nil

I tried using a the showWebPopup function to display a PDF, but I can’t seem to get that to work. It seems like this would be a solution.
