title: "EXL"
|
||
|
|
---
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Note:** To prevent confusion, "Excel" as described has nothing to do with Microsoft's Excel.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I recommend reading the ["Excel List" section](https://xiv.dev/game-data/file-formats/excel#excel-list-.exl) on xiv.dev's Excel docs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is simply a text file containing a list of comma-separated strings, where each line is separated by a newline:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
EXLT,2
|
||
|
|
Achievement,209
|
||
|
|
Action,4
|
||
|
|
content/DeepDungeon2Achievement,-1
|
||
|
|
content/DeepDungeon2Gacha,-1
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This describes Excel sheets that exist in the game data, hence why it's called dubbed an "Excel List". The easiest one to parse is `exd/rool.exl` as it contains a bunch of Excel sheets to test a parser on.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With an Excel List parsed, you can then build a path to a [Excel header or .exh](format/exh). To do so, simply move all characters to lowercase and append `.exh` at the end:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`Achievement,209` -> `exh/achievement.exh`
|
||
|
