Hello! Just a little question. Here's some code: ----------- matrix = Import["C: \\my_file.xls"]; <- import tables matrix = matrix[[1]] <- we need only the first one and we printing this table ----------- What I want to do is insert InputField where I would be able to type a filename and two lines above will be evaluated automatically. I think there should be something like this: ----------- InputField[Dynamic[matrixFile], String]; Dynamic[ matrix = Import[matrixFile]; matrix = matrix[[1]] ] ----------- This works almost fine. There's a feeling that the output (the one with the table) re-counts continuously. Nothing changes but processor is busy. Not good. I think that the problem is in the second line: matrix = matrix[[1]], but I do not know exactly what actually causing the problem. Haven't found anything in the documentation. Here is the similar example (at least I think it's similar) which works totally fine: ----------- x = 1; y = 2; Dynamic[ j = {x + y, x + y}; j = j[[1]] ] ----------- That would be really great if anyone could say something about this problem. Thanks in advance, Mike.
