I currently don't have the time/motivation to extend the excel interface class to work with Open Office and Google spreadsheet, however, If someone really needs to do this it shouldn't be too difficult. Only the following methods of the XLS class contain excel specific commands that would need to be overridden: -Initialize()#opens an excel file -getRangebyLabel()#finds a range of data dynamically -getWorksheet()#finds a worksheet to use -get2DArray()#returns a 2D array of data based on a given range and worksheet name.

I started working on some code that would read open office spreadhseet files. It would be great if you could make it work on both, with the same interface, especially as things like firewatir and safari watir work well on non windows platforms. >The open office format is an xml file in a zip, and its actually quite easy to work with. >I can send you my code if you like >Paul _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
