Working with Spreadsheets
• String 'WK1' if the file is a Lotus spreadsheet readable with the wk1read
function. Otherwise, it contains an empty string ('').
• String 'Lotus 123 Spreadsheet'
Example — Querying a WK1 File. This example returns information
about spreadsheet file matA.wk1:
[extens, type] = wk1finfo('matA.wk1')
extens =
WK1
type =
Lotus 123 Spreadsheet
Exporting to the File
Use the wk1write function to export a matrix to a Lotus spreadsheet file. You
have the choice of positioning the matrix starting at the first row and column
of the spreadsheet, or at any other location in the file.
To export to a specific location in the file, use the second syntax, indicating a
zero-based starting row and column.
Inputs to wk1write are
• Name of the spreadsheet file
• Matrix to be exported
• Locationinthefileinwhichtowritethedata
Example — Writing to a WK1 File. This example exports an 8-by-8 matrix
to spreadsheet file matA.wk1:
A = [1:8; 11:18; 21:28; 31:38; 41:48; 51:58; 61:68; 71:78];
A =
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38
