Experiment_02_Streaming content into grasshopper

I've been testing how to stream content from files into grasshopper, the tests are listed below. From the experiment, i have concluded that i will be using the first 2 tests together so that i can stream content to and from a text file while also visually seeing the file path in Grasshopper.

Streaming Content directly to text file
Using the panel tool i streamed the content directly to a text file. Which means that when either the text file, or panel is changed they will both update one another. This option is good if i want to be able to allow Grasshopper to create changes and update a singular database.

Using File Path node with Text file
The file path node updates information directly from a file. However if i only use this option i won't be able to send information back into the text file.

Using Excel document
I thought that i can use an Excel spreadsheet, however it comes up with unwanted information.
