reading from excel

Hi,

I have an excel file with a cell typed within: normal(10,5,0)

I want to read that information to be used as process time.
At process time, I coded like this:

treenode current = ownerobject(c);
treenode item = parnode(1);
/**By Expression*/
/** \nExpression: */

string value1=excelreadstr(2,1);
double value = /**/tonum(value1)/**/;
/** \n\nNote: The expression may be a constant value or the result of a command (getitemtype(item), getlabelnum(item, "labelname"), etc).*/
return value;

What's wrong with the codes? Please assist.

Hi,

please take a look at the following command:

executestring(str thestring[, node c, node i, obj eventdata])

Description: Executes the given string as flexscript. Parameters 2-4 are the same as executefsnode.

Example: executestring("profileevents()");
