How to automate Rhino/grasshoper workflow with processing?

SrihariPramod

Here is the workflow that is required

Drop an excel file in a specific folder-rhino is loaded-grasshopper executed- reads the excel data - processes data - outputs 3dmodel in the same folder.

I just require to code the initial part to automate the process instead of manually locating the excel file in grasshopper.

I'm unclear: are you trying to uses the Processing.org programming language, which is the topic of this forum?

Or are you just trying to automate a process, e.g. with folder actions, Automator, shell script, or some a scripting language specific to your operating system?

What to do next is really based on your design and needs. Please provide a MCVE showing your approach if you get stuck.
