Excel .xla in Octave

[mspitoni]

Hello everybody!

I am starting using Octave with the aim to replace Matlab in doing
essentially the same work. However, I am having some troubles here. I have
an add-in (.xla file) in excel, which allows to compute some specific fluid
thermodynamic properties by knowing just two variables (for example,
enthalpy from temperature and pressure).
My purpose is as follows:
- write the needed string on an excel sheet using Octave xlswrite function;
- read the result computed in excel by using Octave xlsread function.
At this stage, I am able to write the string on excel, but when I try to
read the result, Octave gives empty matrix. But if I open the excel file,
the result is calculated in the specified cell.
I don't know if it could be a matter of saving the file after writing from
Octave.

If somebody could give me an hand to understand who to overcome this issue,
it will be great!!

Thanks!
