Directly, no. However, LibreOffice has an extensive API[1]. In theory,
you could create a script (there is a python example) that accepts
input, starts LibreOffice and then pastes the lines into cells (I'm
assuming you want the numbers in a spreadsheet). If you have ever
programmed Excel, LibreOffice shouldn't present much of a learning
curve.
