Dear Lisp-Hug, I would like to process several hundred Microsoft Excel files (.xls) using Lisp Works. It would be sufficient if I could open each file, select the appropriate worksheet, read the entire sheet into memory and then close the file, before proceeding to the next one. Any help or advice would be gratefully received. An example would be particularly appreciated. Thanking you in advance. Andrew Lyall

That was recently discussed on comp.lang.lisp: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.lisp/browse_frm/thread/488373990cbca9d1 An example with RDNZL can be found at the end of the examples section here: http://weitz.de/rdnzl/#examples HTH, Edi.
