From: "greg.rb" Date: 2005-11-09T05:02:54+09:00 Subject: win32ole --Dynamic lookup vs Static? I am using 'win32ole' to script excel. In python I use the COM makepy utility which allows faster processing of ole commands. It doesn't need to do dynamic look ups. Python code: from win32com.client import Dispatch xlApp = Dispatch("Excel.Application") Does Ruby have a similar function? I found 'olegen.rb' but after I generated a file, I haven't got it to work. -thanks
