Subject: Re: RubyExcel class. Useful?

Thanks for that, I hadn't gotten around to doing much testing with 
sheets yet.

The 1-based indexing can be tricky to keep working as a standard, but 
one thing I thought this might help with is transitioning between VBA 
and Ruby. If the addressing and objects look similar, you don't need to 
change much of the individual project detail.
I have some VBA code which I think would be much simpler in Ruby, and if 
I can set this up I might even be able to write something to translate 
VBA into Ruby working with this class. That's more of a vague idea for a 
future project though.

I do need to add more checks, particularly validating input. What I want 
to do is to try and have most validation pass through the Address 
module, so I can make any changes there rather than running around the 
entire project looking for duplicate code.

This is still very much under construction, but it's good practice for 
me to use Github; and it's amazingly useful to have advice from more 
experienced programmers while I struggle to build a viable tool. Thanks 
again for your time :)
