I belive some form of macro would be suitable for this job. The function has to fetch some xml from a remote url, the xml has to be parsed and the parameters for the url are sent as post data (as xml) I've failed to find apis for doing url fetching in basic. Python would be suitable for doing that (rich standard library, good docs) but, again, i've failed to find a way to use python functions as formula functions (basic functions are callable from a formula but, there is no obvious way to call some python functions from the basic macro)
Any help is apreciated. -- http://ionel.zapto.org ionel.
