I’m trying to use the parseexcel gem (0.5.2).
I have an excel sheet with 2 columns & 5 rows: 1,2,3,4,5 and a,b,c,d,e
irb(main):001:0> require ‘parseexcel’
default formats are encoded in ISO-8859-1
=> true
irb(main):002:0> workbook = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel.parse(‘book.xls’)
=> #<Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook:0x2deed7c
@formats=[#<Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Format:0x2de65dc @read_dir=0,
@font_no=0, @encoding=“UTF-16LE”, @just_last=false, @key_123=false,
