Hi

I am looking for some sample code (or OLE reference)
that will let me write some simple tables into a word
doc using ruby and win32ole.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Those who can, do. Those who can’t, simulate.

require 'win32ole’
word = WIN32OLE.new(“Word.Application”)
word.visible = true
word.documents.add
word.ActiveDocument.Tables.Add(Word.selection.range, 4, 2)
selection = word.selection
4.times {
selection.typetext "Hello"
selection.moveright
selection.typetext "World!"
selection.moveright
selection.moveright
}

Brian Marick also has a really nice article on his website about using
Ruby as a testing tool for Windows applications. He uses Word as the
example application:
