Have you find any solution to read and write on a same excel file using ruby? If yes please let me know to networkror@gmail.com.

Thanks,

current = book.worksheet 0
Or if you want
current = book.worksheet ‘SheetName’
then
rowC = current.row(2)
Now you have an array to work with. Column 1 is then rowC[0], column 2 is rowC[1], etc
Convert as necessary.

Taking patches from other people means that code goes under GPLv3 as well. They can use the Software as long as they abide by the rules of GPLv3. If you want to use spreadsheet in a closed source project you have to buy a license from us.

I suspect that you’d either need the permission of other authors and to have an assignment of their work to the other licence either wholly or on a case-by-case basis, or to rewrite those sections entirely. Based on this libraries history the library is probably thoroughly ‘polluted’ with mismatching licences.

Shortly after posting my comment, I did find your github account with all the latest changes – terrific!

We are on github ;) and the repo is up-to-date.

https://github.com/zdavatz/spreadsheet

The problem is, that rubyforge.org is still alive; but that is just how an open Eco-System works. Stuff grows everywhere.

If you do a search for ‘ruby spreadsheet gem’, the first link you get is to “spreadsheet.rubyforge.org” and the readme file dated 08.12.2011. Next down is “File: GUIDE.txt [spreadsheet-0.6.5.2 Documentation]“, Next down is “rubyforge.org/projects/spreadsheet/” which is for version 0.6.5.9. When you finally see the link for “spreadsheet.ch” and get over wondering if it’s real or not and go to that, it’s also out of date: October 20, 2011. The point is that if you were on github you would be much easier to find and get the latest documentation. As it is it’s confusing and frustrating and therefore limits the utility of what is otherwise a very nice piece of code.

We put it like this:

We don’t want people using our gem in their closed source software. So if the software you wrote to use the spreadsheet gem is not OpenSource and accessible and reusable as such for everyone over the web, then you do need a NonGPL commercial licence from us.

And the output spreadsheets produced by the gem don’t qualify as “covered work”, right?
