Write to excel

You may use a comma to separate the values, but many of my *.csv files contain rgb values that I don’t want in separate cells in excel… I could split the colors into channels but then later I’d have to concatenate them again.

240,197,207;237,165,176;251,153,126;235,127,99;233,72,230;212,175,242;195,142,212;195,129,255;149,100,243;155,125,213;126,99,230;1,45,228;28,132,245;17,158,230;74,187,217;141,213,225;150,221,163;96,204,102

This text as *.csv looks like that in excel:

It’s also possible to use a script to write a *.csv directly from Grasshopper. Depending on how many files you want to write, this can be easier to set up…

Over the last couple years I’ve used a few different plugins to export to excel but in the end every time my files are opened on someone elses computer, the user needs to install a plugin. I got rid of most plugins and I prefer to use a script or native solution whenever possible.
