From: Vidya Ramachandren Date: 2008-08-26T16:02:48+09:00 Subject: parceexcel and fields in xls file I am having a problem in reading the columns from an xls file. Following is the code: workbook = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel.parse(params[:dump][:file]) worksheet = workbook.worksheet(0) skip=0 worksheet.each(skip) { |row| puts row.at(0) } I am storing "Customer" in the first row first column. When I print, it is received as C[]u[]s[]t[]o[]m[]e[]r[] (I mean a box in between each letter). Am i missing out anything in the code? Please help. Thanks in advance. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
