Another question (Excel plugin?)

[Felonious]

You've been very helpful with my first two questions, and I've been surprised at how easy this program is to use when you get the hang of it (and have a little guidance). However, I feel like I've finally got a stumper for you:

Is there anyway for a skin to plug in a value from an Excel cell and use it as a variable? Maybe a measure=plugin of some kind?

I realize this might be a stretch since I guess there's no .ini equivalent for a .xls extension, so I'm not expecting a simple solution, if there is one at all. Then again, I wasn't expecting my first two questions to be solved so easily, so ...

Thanks (again) in advance.

Not at this time. You would need to write (or someone would need to write) a new plugin in C# or C++ that could take the name of a .xls file as an input and read from it. There is code out there for reading Excel format files, but you would need a serious code monkey.
