WIN32OLE_TYPE usage? Need a Guid()

ruby-talk
1

Hello All,

Could someone explain to me the usage for WIN32OLE_TYPE.Guid()?

I need it for a replication app on Win platform.

Alternatively, a IEEE UUID generator?

Thanks!

  tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library',
                           'Application')
  puts tobj.guid

> Alternatively, a IEEE UUID generator?

No. WIN32OLE_TYPE#guid returns existing GUID, not a IEEE UUID generator.
