I was looking for a concise language (like Fortran - that dates me hey!!) to automate some Excel procedures that I do. Pretty simple stuff I guess if you know what you are doing. Can any of you knock out the few lines of Ruby code to read a cell in an Excel spreadsheet which I could then build on.? It would make an enormous contribution to my learning curve. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
