Actually, you can trim the starting " and the last " before copying the cell.

I've just started using ruby a couple of days ago, and I've been using it to read data from text files and write to excel spreadsheets. I also need to be able to write formulas to spreadsheets, but when I open the excel file, the formula is in there without having been evaluated - for example, the cell will appear as "=A1+A58+A112" instead of whatever the value of that sum happens to be. If I click on the cell and hit "enter," the formula will evaluate, but it does not do so automatically. Is there any way to get ruby to force excel to evaluate? Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
