Hi. I have a VERY simple ruby program which uses spreadsheet 0.6.3.1 on Windows 2000 to create an Excel file:
require 'spreadsheet' Spreadsheet.client_encoding = 'UTF-8' book = Spreadsheet::Workbook.new sheet1 = book.create_worksheet row = sheet1.row(0) row[0] = "Date.new 1975, 8, 21" row[1] = "Time.now.utc" row[2] = "DateTime.new 2008, 10, 12, 11, 59" row[3] = "DateTime.civil(y=2009, m=2, d=21, h=19, min=20, s=13, of=0)" row[4] = "Date.new" row[5] = "DateTime.now" row[6] = "Time.new, mit Format" book.write 'test,' + rand().to_s + '.xls' Or online at http://askwar.pastebin.ca/1338823 The generated XLS file can be found on http://public-files.askwar.s3.amazonaws.com/Ruby-Spreadsheet/test%2C0.9583586589 24524.xls When I try to open that XLS file using 1.8.4 on an ArchLinux system or with gnumeric-1.9.3-20081017.exe on Windows 2000, then it fails, showing: "Unsupported file format.". On the openging term of 1.8.4, it shows: Reading file:///home/askwar/.000%20RDP%20Transfer%20Directory%20000/Ruby-Spreads heet/test%2C0.958358658924524.xls (gnumeric:20531): libgsf:msole-WARNING **: failure reading block 16 (gnumeric:20531): libgsf:msole-WARNING **: failure reading block 16 E Unable to open module file "/usr/lib/gnumeric/1.8.3/plugins/psiconv/psiconv". E libpsiconv.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Files created with the old spreadsheet-excel could be opened with Gnumeric. I don't know if that's something for you or for the Spreadsheet folks. Is it you, who's doing something wrong here or is it them? Because of that, you can find the same question on the spreadsheet forum at http://rubyforge.org/forum/message.php?msg_id=64870 - as I said, I don't know who's to "blame" here :) Thanks a lot, Alexander -- [ Soc. => http://twitter.com/alexs77 | http://www.plurk.com/alexs77 ] [ Mehr => http://zyb.com/alexws77 ] [ Chat => Jabber: alexw...@jabber80.com | Google Talk: a.sk...@gmail.com ] [ Mehr => MSN: alexw...@live.de | Yahoo!: askwar | ICQ: 350677419 ] _______________________________________________ gnumeric-list mailing list gnumeric-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumeric-list
