Discussion

escargo 2005-07-13: After correcting a couple of typographical errors and reordering the code so I could read it with wish-reaper, I added a few lines to produce an output file.
set fd [open "excel[clock seconds].xml" "w"]
puts $fd $xml
close $fd

  • Adding a missing close parenthesys in an array
  • Correcting examples : adding [list ..]

[leprechau] 2008-10-27

This package has some severe problems dealing with multiple simultaneous workbooks/worksheets. Consider the following simple scenerio:
set book [excel::createWorkbook]
set book2 [excel::createWorkbook]
set ws [excel::createWorkSheet $book "hello there"]
set ws2 [excel::createWorkSheet $book2 testing]
excel::addRow $ws [list 1 2 3 4 5 6]
excel::addRow $ws2 [list 4 5 6 7 8 9]
set fid [open book1.xml w]
puts $fid [excel::asXml $book]; close $fid
set fid [open book2.xml w]
puts $fid [excel::asXml $book2]; close $fid
excel::deleteWorkbook $book
excel::deleteWorkbook $book2

Firstly, both book1.xml and book2.xml will contain the row '4 5 6 7 8 9' and the first row is lost completely. Secondly, it will throw error when you try to delete the second book with a nonexistent rowConter element. In addition to that, the information in the 'data' array is not cleaned completely from either book. I am going to give this package a re-write to allow for multiple simultaneous books and worksheets and will post the results here.

KimmellC's rewrite (version 2.x)  edit

I rewrote this and added several more features:

There is one issue if there is a large amount of data inserted it crawls. I think that it is due to using an array for data structure, but am not sure.

## ♦     CREATED: FRIDAY, 04/28/17 11:44 AM;
## ♦     CREATOR: CHAD A KIMMELL;
## ♦ DESCRIPTION: ADD ROW TO WORKSHEET, WORKSHEET MUST EXIST, ABORTS OTHERWISE;
## •       INPUT: WORKSHEETID - 
## •       INPUT: ?ROW NUMBER (IF ROWS HAVE BEEN SKIPPED)? -
## •       INPUT: LIST OF DATA, EACH LIST ITEM REPRESENTS THE NEXT ADJACENT COLUMN, IF DATA STARTS WITH '-c' -
##                FOLLOWING LIST ITEM REPRESENTS THE COLUMN TO START THE DATA TO BE INSERTED INTO VALUE CAN BE AN INT OR COLUMN NAME;
## ◘      RETURN: INT , ABORT ON ERROR;
