Does Excel Automation in UI Path support libre Office csv files - uipath

I'm trying to read contents from CSV files in UiPath. While trying to execute the workflow I'm getting the following error. But I've already installed the libre office on my PC.

UiPath can read excel or csv files without the help of any other software. You can use 'read csv' activity for this case.
And the error that you showed looks user defined.

Is it possible to change an .rtf file to .txt file using some sort of batch script on Windows?

We have a .rtf file that needs to be downloaded from a Windows machine, but it contains a lot of pictures in it so it is 2 GB. I would like to download just the text from this file, so it would be ideal if there was an automated script that ran each day on the Windows machine that could convert this file from rtf to txt. Is there a way to do this?
If you can use PowerShell, sure. PowerShell gives you access to the .NET Framework. You can use System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox to perform the conversion. Your application (or PowerShell code) need not be a Windows Forms application.
Here is a a full example.
You can use unrtf.
unrtf --text /path/to/rtf
Depending on your skill level, you can
Use Office Automation to build a script in Word to load the RTF and
then save as TXT
Use .NET to load a copy of Word and then save as TXT
Use .NET and regular expressions to filter unnecessary information
Use .NET to load the RTF in Internet Explorer and then Save As

Encoding of SMS-files from Nokia backup (.nbf)?

I am using a Mac and have a Nokia phone. Therefore I cannot sync it with my computer, but I found out, that making a backup on the creates a .nbf-file, which contains all the data I want (contacts and messages).
The contacts are stored easily accessible as vCards, so that's cool. Unfortunately the messages are stored each text separately in one file, which looks pretty weird when I open it with a text editor (for example TextWrangler). I can see the numbers and the text, but no information about date.
I uploaded the file here: http://www.4shared.com/file/7LNsuPbF/00000A123EB640F500002010005000.html
I already tried out different encodings, but it never looks good.
Maybe someone has a clue how to read that file? Could it be encrypted or something?
Try https://sourceforge.net/projects/nbuexplorer/ - it should be able to open .nbf files.
It is/was a C# project, and it only provides Windows exe as release download, however, I could get this .exe to run on Ubuntu 18.04 using mono; and I could also get the project sources to compile on Ubuntu using xbuild (the result again being an .exe file that can be run with Mono), see comments in my build script get-nbuexplorer.svn.sh.

Programmatically saving Outlook emails in .msg format on my desktop

How can I save emails to my local desktop folder in Microsoft Outlook 2007? I need a plugin or can you help me in writing a plugin with some suitable code as reference. I don't have permission to create *.pst. I don't want to save it manually everytime.
There are several commercial solutions available, for example: MessageSave or MailToFile, but I understand that you're looking for a free alternative. In that case you may check SharepointUpload.
Despite its name it allows to a normal folder.
Note: Although the tool was designed for SharePoint's naming restrictions, the tool can be used to extract all the above to a normal folder (e.g. C:\Temp).
It's freeware and you have also available the source code so you could modify the product if it doesn't meet your needs.
SharePoint Upload is a command line freeware tool (with .NET source) that can extract e-mails from PST, Public Folders, and Exchange Mailboxes and place on a file system in MSG format (using Redemption)

To convert between various file formats I use: PyODConverter. There is Python and Java version.
It uses OpenOffice working as a service and can convert between various document formats including MS Office, PDF and text.
There is also pure Python library: xlrd Library for developers to extract data from Microsoft Excel (tm) spreadsheet files

VB6 library for creating Excel spreadsheets

I am trying to get a legacy app working on terminal services with the minimum amount of changes to the existing code base.
What library for creating Excel spreadsheets using VB6 without having Excel installed could I use to solve this?
If you are using COM Interop to create Excel spreadsheets you must have Excel installed on the machine.
You could create comma delimited .csv files instead.
CSV is easy as suggested in the other answer. Sometimes folk use HTML too.
Create Excel (.XLS and .XLSX) file from C#
Or even ADO and OLEDB
