Subject: Text fields truncated to 255 characters
After conversion I get all text fields truncated to 255 characters. This is the command line I use, but also removing encoding options does not fix the problem: xls2csv -x input.xls -c input.csv -b WINDOWS-1252 -a UTF-8 Dependencies used: perl 5.10.1 perl-libintl 1.16 perl-Spreadsheet-ParseExcel 0.58 perl-Text-CSV_XS 0.74 Is this a common issue or might it depend on source document? In case I can prepare and send a test file. Thank you for your help.

Sorry it took so long for me to reply to this. I've never seen this script truncate fields before. If you post an example xls I'm sure I can figure out what is going on.

As far as I remember I eventually found out that the problem wasn't in xls2csv so I think the bug can be closed as invalid. Sorry for the wrong report and thanks for helping.
