Hi,

Is there a way by which we can parse ruby code to generate a word file
just the way there is a way to generate PDF, Excel or CSV files.

Open your Ruby script with Word then Menu->File->Save As and save as
Word.

Or did you want something different?

Kind regards

I want the ability to generate a word document by parsing through my
code.
As we do using PDF::Writer or CSV::Writer

I’m not sure why you talk about “parsing”. Parsing is done by the
Ruby interpreter when executing your programs.

As we do using PDF::Writer or CSV::Writer

So you want a library with which you can create Word documents
programmatically. There might be tools to create RTF:
http://raa.ruby-lang.org/search.rhtml?search=rtf

An alternative would be to use Win32Ole when on a Windows-System with
MS Word installed.

Last alternative I can think of, create a HTML doc and convert it with
Word.

Kind regards

Can anyone tell me whether the RTF Writer works for Unix or not?
