burger Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 I need to retrieve data from this spreadsheet. I can do it by first saving the file and then using Excel functions. Is there any way possible to retrieve data from this spreadsheet without downloading it first?http://www.mlindex.ml.com/GISPublic/bin/GI...dex%20Daily.csv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any way possible to retrieve data from this spreadsheet without downloading it first?I would think you would have to download the file first in order to extract data from it. The only other way I can think of would be to have some server side function that you could call that would extract the data for you.

Is there any way possible to retrieve data from this spreadsheet without downloading it first?http://www.mlindex.ml.com/GISPublic/bin/GI...dex%20Daily.csvwell, can you extract a string from a local file WITHOUT looking into it??? If your answer is "no", why do you think that should be possible with a file on a web server?CheersKurt Edited November 11, 2006 by /dev/null __________________________________________________________(l)user: Hey admin slave, how can I recover my deleted files?admin: No problem, there is a nice tool.

The file is "open" but I still cannot retrieve data without downloading first. Apparently this is nessesary with CSV files.
