takes a list of couchdb invoice ids and exports the data contained within those invoices to an Excel spreadsheet

var inspect = require('eyespect').inspector()
var cradle = require('cradle')

  var port = couch.port
  var database = couch.database
  var opts = {
    cache: false,

  }

  var username = config.get('couch:username')
  var password = config.get('couch:password')

    opts.auth = {
      username: username,
      password: password
    }
  }

  var c = new(cradle.Connection)(fullHost, port, opts)
  var db = c.database(database)

    if (err) { return cb(err) }
    if (!exists) {
