Support for ranges? #3

It would be great if I could either specify a range to be read, or know the location of returned values. As things stand now, empty rows/columns aren't read so I have no idea where I am in my excel file. Thanks!

Yes. This package doesn't claim - yet - to be a real excel reader. It is more a hack. I wrote it for my own use (simplest kind of tables - not really formatted - of large bioinformatics tables). A real Excel reader would be able to create a workbook and create a complex object.

I'm sorry that this is in such an initial state.

I might tackle this soon. I am trying to translate an excel reader/writer Racket package at the moment. It will still take a lot of time. But a solution is on the way.
