Hi,
Good suggestion. At this time the library just reads data. To know the cell type it will be necessary to keep track of column and row attributes and then check if the cell has a type or inherits it.
I did not intend to do all this, but I will add it to the wish list.

I made some modifications to the library to support data types. I could email the file to you and you can see if you want to add it or not.. Then I don't need to make a pull request. :)

I would be glad to have a look at you modified code. And if it's good I could include it.

Here you are. I fixed a lot of POSIX naming problems as well that generated a lot of warnings.

As you see, I used another library as well for hashmap and array support, but you can do as you want with that. Maybe use an internal solution.

And if you decide to add it, then it should be added to the callback version of reading as well.

Why did you switch from stricmp to _stricmp? In my experience stricmp is more portable, and platform portability remains an important goal of the project. Which platform are you on exactly?

Mostly it was due to Visual Studio 2015 giving heaps of warnings about it. :)

May I know this determine cell type feature is available in the latest release? It is quite important as we need to know the datatype before we know which api method to call.

This feature is not trivial to implement, and has not been added yet.

Hi guys. Do we have any chance to see this implemented soon? Do you have any workaround for this?
