Hi,

I am using win32ole for excel-automation. Currently I need to cope with a
spreadsheet containing cyrillic characters.

The following excample code demonstrates my problem:

  require 'win32ole'
  x = WIN32OLE.new "Excel.Application"
  x.workbooks.open "sheetwithcyrillicwords.xls"

  # this field contains a russian word
  x.range("A1").value  # => "???????"


It would be great if someone could help me find a way to get the right
values in ruby.


Thanks for your help,
jochen
