##
## Read data contained within cell range @var{range} from worksheet @var{wsh}
## in an Excel spreadsheet file pointed to in struct @var{xls}; Gnumeric
## files can be read as well.
##
## @var{xls} is supposed to have been created earlier by xlsopen in the
## same octave session.
##
## @var{wsh} is either numerical or text, in the latter case it is 
## case-sensitive and it may be max. 31 characters long.
## Note that in case of a numerical @var{wsh} this number refers to the
## position in the worksheet stack, counted from the left in an Excel
## window.  The default is numerical 1, i.e. corresponding to the leftmost
## worksheet tab in the Excel file.
##
## @var{range} is expected to be either a regular spreadsheet range
## format, "" (empty string, indicating all data in a worksheet), or a
## "Named range" defined in the spreadsheet file.  In case of a Named
## range, the worksheet associated with that Named range will be used
## instead of the one specified in @var{wsh}.
## If no range is specified the occupied cell range will have to be
## determined behind the scenes first; this can take some time for the
## Java-based interfaces.  Be aware that in COM/ActiveX interface the
## used range can be outdated.  The Java-based interfaces are more 
## reliable in this respect albeit much slower.
##
## Optional argument @var{options}, a structure, can be used to
## specify various read modes by setting option fields in the struct
## to true (1) or false (0).  Currently recognized option fields are:
##
## @table @asis
## @item "formulas_as_text"
## If set to TRUE or 1, spreadsheet formulas (if at all present)
## are read as formula strings rather than the evaluated formula
## result values.  The default value is 0 (FALSE).
##
## @item 'strip_array'
## Set the value of this field set to TRUE or 1 to strip the returned
## output array @var{rawarr} from empty outer columns and rows. The
## spreadsheet cell rectangle limits from where the data actually
## came will be updated.  The default value is FALSE or 0 (no cropping).
## When using the COM interface, the output array is always cropped.
##
## @item 'convert_utf'
## If set to 1 or TRUE, xls2oct tries to do a best job of converting
## UTF-8 characters to one-byte characters so that they display
## properly in Octave if that uses a terminal that does not support
## UTF-8 encoding (e.g., Windows 7 and below).
## For the COM interface this conversion is done by libraries
## outside Octave so for COM this option has no effect.
## @end table
##
## If only the first argument @var{xls} is specified, xls2oct will try
## to read all contents from the first = leftmost (or the only)
## worksheet (as if a range of @'' (empty string) was specified).
## 
## If only two arguments are specified, xls2oct assumes the second
## argument to be @var{wsh}.  In that case xls2oct will try to read
## all data contained in that worksheet.
##
## Return argument @var{rawarr} contains the raw spreadsheet cell data.
## Use parsecell() to separate numeric and text values from @var{rawarr}.
##
## Optional return argument @var{xls} contains the pointer struct,
## If any data have been read, field @var{xls}.limits contains the
## outermost column and row numbers of the actually returned cell range.
##
## Optional return argument @var{rstatus} will be set to 1 if the
## requested data have been read successfully, 0 otherwise. 
##
## Erroneous data and empty cells turn up empty in @var{rawarr}.
## Date/time values in Excel are returned as numerical values.
## Note that Excel and Octave have different date base values (epoch;
## 1/1/1900 and 1/1/0000, respectively).  The epoch of returned date values
## depending on interface and version of the support SW.
## Be aware that Excel trims @var{rawarr} from empty outer rows & columns, 
## so any returned cell array may turn out to be smaller than requested
## in @var{range}, independent of field 'formulas_as_text' in @var{options}.
## When using COM, POI, or UNO interface, formulas in cells are evaluated; if
## that fails cached values are retrieved.  These may be outdated depending
## on Excel's "Automatic calculation" settings when the spreadsheet was saved.
##
## When reading from merged cells, all array elements NOT corresponding 
## to the leftmost or upper Excel cell will be treated as if the
## "corresponding" Excel cells are empty.
##
## Beware: when the COM interface is used, hidden Excel invocations may be
## kept running silently in case of COM errors.
##
## Examples:
##
## @example
##   A = xls2oct (xls1, '2nd_sheet', 'C3:AB40');
##   (which returns the numeric contents in range C3:AB40 in worksheet
##   '2nd_sheet' from a spreadsheet file pointed to in pointer struct xls1,
##   into numeric array A) 
## @end example
##
## @example
##   [An, xls2, status] = xls2oct (xls2, 'Third_sheet');
## @end example
##
## @seealso {oct2xls, xlsopen, xlsclose, parsecell, xlsread, xlsfinfo, xlswrite }
##
## @end deftypefn
