Hi all, I'm a newbie - please have patience. I am not sure if anyone uses Ruby as an automation tool - I think it would be a cool thing to do. I have heard of the WIN32OLE extension - it sounds cool - does anyone use this and why? I was wondering if this automation only applies to these Windows applications or is there any more you can control with a Ruby program? I use the graphing application Origin - could I use Ruby to automate, i.e. put data in and plot graphs. Thanks in advance, Chris -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
