The best way to edit spreadsheets in C++

[robotichead]

Hello,

I was just wondering what was the best way to edit spreadsheets in C++. I am trying to create a timesheet for several people in one spreadsheet. So each person has a different worksheet, and the collection of worksheets are in one spreadsheet.

I know xml can handle this task.

What is the best way of reading XML files and adding in the extra times for each person? I have only been using C++ for a few months, but I am a fast learner, and I am also using QT4.

Thank-you for your help

Are you trying to edit a microsft excel spreadsheet or an openoffice spreadsheet? Good luck with that, it is a binary file. As for XML in C++, I would just google for xml c++ tutorial or something similar.

i know its next to impossible to edit microsoft excell spreadsheets, but I do know that XML can do spreadsheets really easily, and thus I would like to know how to edit xml, or if there is another option out there.

I am trying to learn tinyXml with no success at the moment.

Knowing how to work with XML is useful, I would stick with it. What about TinyXml isn't making sense?
