parsing excel(.xls) file

hi,

  i am trying for parsing an excel file using parseexcel.    it works fine for small set of data containing excel file.    but it not work properly on large set of data, and throws error.    spreadsheet also cause same error.    can anyone provide any alternative or some other technique.    can i use JavaExcelAPI for creating bridge beetween java and ruby     on rails,is it is possible through RJB or Jruby.     Any suggestion required immediately.                                      thanks,                                      Subhadip

Hi, I don't know specifically how many is your "large set of data". 100, 1000, 10000, 100000 rows? For me this gem works fine with more or less 3500 rows to parse from an excel file.

good luck!
