How to access Excel-Sheets from outside Excel ?

[Markus Obermayer]

I am searching for a tool which enables me to retrieve the contents of a certain cell from outside
Excel through the command line.

I would like to call this utility at the command line, pass a cell identification and will get the contents e.g.:

D:\temp>getfromexcel.exe myexcelsheet.xls "23,G"
1234.45

Does such a tool exist?

Possibly using ADO and VB or another language you could write such a tool.
