How to have a real time communication with an existing excel file?

edited February 2014 in How To...

Hi all,

I want to be able to export data (arrays of integers, linked to an array of indices), to Excel, then do calculations with it in excel, and import result numbers back into processing. This needs to happen realtime, so that if I change the data, the result-data changes too.

After an afternoon of googling options, I have only found ways to read existing excel files (like the library XlsReader), and write new excel files, but not to write into existing excel files. Is this possible?

Does anyone know examples in which this happens? Or any tips about how to tackle it?

Thanks in advance, Tessa
