process out of memory Exception

[JohnJeong123]

When xlsjs convert a big excel file(.xls) as readFile(), node get error below

FATAL ERROR: JS Allocation failed - process out of memory

Can you help me? How to sole it.

I attempted below setting

$ node --max-old-space-size=8192 my-node-script.js

If anyone has solution, please response it. : )

@JohnJeong123 sorry for belated reply! Can you give a sense for how large the file is (in MB, as well as row/col)? If possible, can you share the file?

Also, can you check whether you encounter the allocation problem with the cfb utility (want to see where the issue is happening):

$ npm install -g cfb
$ cfb -q your_file.xls; echo $?

What this does is try to reassemble the file and exit (rather than perform the xls processing)

Again, sorry for such a slow response.

@JohnJeong123 @githistory we have merged this project into js-xlsx. It replicates the full js-xls API -- please test against the latest version there and if you are still seeing problems please raise an issue there with a sample file.
