"ocaml_beginners"::[] Read and write Excel

Is there any library or module which allows to read and write Excel
files? Or perhaps CSV files? Excel can im- and export those as far as
I know.

Thanks

Yes: http://merjis.com/developers/csv is quite an advanced library
which can deal with CSV and TSV files, and can do lots of useful
things with them. At Merjis all of the bidding systems were driven
out of CSV files, using this library (the files themselves being
edited in OpenOffice).

To read and write Excel (.xls) files you could lash something together
with Perl's Spreadsheet::WriteExcel (http://search.cpan.org/src/JMCNAMARA/),
Spreadsheet::ParseExcel (http://search.cpan.org/~szabgab/) and
perl4caml (http://merjis.com/developers/perl4caml).

I wrote "col&quot; which relies on camlp4 to automatically create converters

between CSV files and records (and tuples and objects as well):

http://martin.jambon.free.fr/ocaml.html#col

It can read the name of the fields from the first row (head of
each column).

It works for ocaml 3.08/3.09 and I started the upgrading process to
camlp4 3.10, but it's not done yet.
