What the name of god am i doing wrong here(please see code below). Any input is greatly appreciated. Thank you, require 'win32ole' word = WIN32OLE.new('Word.Application') word.Visible = true doc = word.documents.open("C:/test_file.doc") word.selection.wholestory find = word.Selection.Find find.text = "is" # simplest test string ever if word.selection.find.found p "Found" else p "Crapppppppp" end -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
