Octave- write to read-only recommended xlsx

[Dylan Blanset]

Hi,

 

I’m writing into an existing xlsx using the xlswrite function. Everything is working fine except when I try to write to a file that is set to open as ‘read-only recommended’ (but is not password locked). Whe I try, xlswrite returns the value 1 for a successful write, but the document is not modified. Is there any known way to write to this file? I’m willing to let Octave disable the read-only recommended and re-enable it at the end of the script, but I haven’t found any way to do that either.

 

Using: Version 4.2.2, Windows 10, pkg io 2.4.10, pkg windows 1.2.4

 

Any advice (even a “nope, impossible”) would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Dylan
