how can I export list of data to Excel or word file

I would like to export list of data to Excel or txt file. Do I need to install plug in to do that or is there any GH component that I am not aware of? Please advise me. Thanks in advance.

There´s an internal File Pharser or in Lunch Box Pluggin you can read and write excel files

looks into your GH Input Parameters there´s one for read files i dont remember if this can write too but i´m 100% sure that with LunchBox pluggin there´s component for write and read open excel files

u can save your data via panel - just right mouse click and > stream content

That is true! This method you will give you the data values at a specific moment in time.

If you want a continuously updating or writing file, however, you should use the components above. Nathan Miller's Lunchbox really is a useful toolset!

Hello Kwanphil Cho,
Welcome to the gHowl forums.

The first option you could try is to write the data to a panel and 'stream contents.' If you save it as .csv,you will have a file that can be opened in excel, and many other software.

Second thing I would suggest is to install gHowl! Check out the example files for some examples to get you started.

There are other scripts and plugins that also allow you to do this.
