it includes a vb script which reads an OOo file, compares the data it to the lists coming in (GPS info from from an .xml file) and, if it’s new, adds (writes) the new data to the same OOo file.

i’m new, so please excuse the messy/inefficient scripts!

and thanks so much for these definitions

is it possible to add to an OOo calc file?

here’s my plan:

import points from an xml file (i’ve got this figured out)

monitor that set of points for change ie new set of points being read in (also cool, return boolean)

if the points change

then
read the OOo file, add the new points to the list just read, write to the OOo file

and repeat

i tried mashing your two scripts together (read and write), but it just locks the file.

i’ve posted the question and hopper def on our blog here: http://annexlab.posterous.com/read-and-write-add-to-an-ooo-calc-file-via-gr

cheers!
