If it is determined that the user has selected (YES in step S103), the process proceeds to step S104, and if it is determined that the user has not selected (NO in step S103), the process of step S103 is repeated.
[0065]
In step S104, the format information acquisition unit 203 acquires the type name of the format selected by the user from the PC screen control unit 202, and transmits a format file format acquisition request to the server. The format information acquisition unit 203 acquires from the server 1 the format of the format file corresponding to the acquisition request.
[0066]
After step S104, the process proceeds to step S105. In step S105, the format of the format file acquired by the format information acquisition unit 203 in step S104 is transmitted to the PC screen control unit 202, and the format selection screen on the screen of the PC2 is displayed. indicate.
[0067]
In step S106, it is determined whether the user has selected a format. If it is determined that the user has selected (YES in step S106), the process proceeds to step S107, and if it is determined that the user has not selected (NO in step S106), the process of step S106 is repeated.
[0068]
In step S107, the format file obtaining unit 204 obtains the information of the format file selected by the user from the PC screen control unit 202 and transmits the information to the server 1 via the PC communication unit 210. Get the format file corresponding to the request. The obtained format file is copied to the folder specified by the user.
[0069]
Proceeding to step S108 following step S107, in step S108, the application program starting unit 205 starts the format file copied to the folder in step S107 using the spreadsheet application program.
[0070]
Proceeding to step S109 following step S108, in step S109, when the format file is copied into the folder in step S107, the CSV format file control unit 206 updates the CSV file name stored in the folder. The information is transmitted to the PC screen control unit 202 and displayed on the PC screen.
[0071]
In step S110, it is determined whether or not the user has selected the CSV file name displayed on the PC screen in step S109. If it is determined that a file name has been selected (YES in step S110), the process proceeds to step S111. If it is determined that a file name has not been selected (NO in step S110), the process of step S110 is repeated.
[0072]
In step S111, the PC screen control unit 202 transmits information on the file name selected in step S109 to the CSV format file control unit 206, and the CSV format file control unit 206 The file contents are transmitted to the file contents writing unit 208. The file content writing unit 208 writes the content of the acquired file in the format of the started application program.
[0073]
After step S111, the process proceeds to step S112. In step S112, the user edits the document displayed in the specified format.
[0074]
After step S112, the process proceeds to step S113. In step S113, the user saves the edited document. Here, the edited document is overwritten and saved by the file content saving unit 209 on the CSV format file selected by the user.
[0075]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, a format and data or content can be separately managed, and data or content can be automatically written in a predetermined column of a specified format.
