julia to excel using libxl

[Martin Somers]

Just wondering if anyone has any insight into using an external library to writing julia data to excel  for example 

http://libxl.com/

julia can interface with C function so why not an enitre library any there any resources pertaining to such a case - is there a simpler libary other than Libxl that can be used

cheers

I think the package Taro.jl should be able to do this.

https://github.com/davidanthoff/ExcelReaders.jl is a wraps of the xlrd Python package.

I need to be able to write to an Excel sheet and run a macro hence why I was looking at running an eternal C library and was interested in interfacing directly with it - the mention packages appear to fall short of my needs 

it seems I might be able to run nodejs as a master and do my processing through julia and then using edge to do what I want in excel -

I was only interested to see if anyone had much success in going the external library route with julia and the possible issues I might face 

tks
