Hi,  
Can sombody point me to the API (documentation) for Win32Ole in Ruby?  
I’m interested in manipulating Excel files, so i would like to see all  
the avaliable classes and methods i can work with.  
if anybody knows of any links relating to programming with Win32Ole in  
ruby that would be a good help.

Thanks in advance, appreciate it.

[http://ruby-dog.org/](http://ruby-dog.org/) is a great site with lots of helpful  
documentation in addition to the core stuff.

Googling for “Excel Object Model” will return a number of websites that  
provide details on the Excel objects, methods, and properties.
