Hi, Can anyone please suggest an approach for handling a .zip archive which contains .xls files ? I want to process the .xls files in turn on the fly as win32OLE objects to extract cell data and create new charts. Of course I can do it the long way and just unzip everything first, but I wonder if there is a neat way of marrying the ZIP and win32OLE objects so that I can process a directory of zipped and unzipped files "in-line" so the code doesn't have to break stride to uncompress things. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Regards, Graham Stokes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
