I think I finally can make more sense of these; and I have a question for you (far below, under Question:). Let's see:
1. You only need to open the .xls file once for all subsequent calls to oct2xls.m >We got to this by trial and error trying to get something that works. Right >now, what we have works on one computer (used by the other developer) but >does not work on mine. We are both running Octave 3.2.4. No SVN patches >except of a correction to imread.m so that it will open the file that is >specified. I will forward your comments to my partner so he can test >without all of the opens and closes. >2. You MUST specify the extension in the file name. >Is Tout a string variable with a complete filename like > 'blahblahblah.xls'? >If not, please tell us the value of Tout (and for that matter, str1, >str2, str3 and str4) Tout is a fully specified filename c:\files\folders\test.xls. I will try to create a better example later tonight. Str1... are just values to be output to the XLS sheet. >.The second argument to xlsopen must be an integer value, not a string >value. See second example when you do (in Octave) >help xlsopen" (w/o quotes) The second parameter is the file handle returned by XLSOpen. Does it need to be typecast as an integer before calling oct2xls? >. In the *output* argument list arguments should be separated with a >comma as well. See example when you do >help oct2xls" (w/o quotes) In our case, for better or worse, we are only outputting single values. I completely agree that is not the most efficient but we were just trying to get something to work. >5. A personal preference: I'd like to make things more readable by >adding spaces here and there. Up to you to follow or not, your choice.) That is my preference as well. The two of us haven't had time to consolidate on a single formatting approach. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download new Adobe(R) Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 The new Adobe(R) Flex(R) 4 and Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 (formerly Flex(R) Builder(TM)) enable the development of rich applications that run across multiple browsers and platforms.
