Hi again!

I'm trying to write data to external excel files to create matrices. I know [matrix] performs this function and I've found the 'write' function but don't understand how to connect the two.

basically it should be possible to load the mtx-files with excel. the format is not csv (comma separated values) but just space-separated columns and <cr>-separated rows. but i think you could tell any decent spreadsheat-app to interpret this format correctly.

[msgfile] can read/write csv-files so probably you could use this as a filter. (but i am not sure whether it will interpret the format correctly)

i have to admit, that my primary concern with the mtx-format was import/export to math-software like octave/matlab and not spreadsheats.
