String being truncated while reading a big file

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello

I'm sorry, I can't attach a file that causes a bug because of some company 
policies forbid it.
I found that the bug might be near the the line 1108.

$newstr = '';
for ($j = 0; $j < strlen($retstr); $j++) {
     $newstr = $retstr[$j].chr(0);
}
$retstr = $newstr;

I really not an expert in excel's inner file format, but I think that this code 
will truncate the string inside the $retstr variable.
I replaced the 
$newstr =  $retstr[$j].chr(0);
with
$newstr .=  $retstr[$j].chr(0);

and now everything works as it should be (at least it looks like that).

Thank you.

Dmitry.

I have this issue too but changing the line in the code made no difference.  In 
my original 2806 line 20 column file looping through the first row columns with 

$data ->val (1, $col) truncated each string by an apparently random ammount.

lopping off all but the first four rows it's fine.  Any suggestions?
