Hi,

I am using ruby ruby 1.8.6 and spreadsheet (0.6.4). I am trying to oarse an excel file. My code is like :

    require 'rubygems'     require 'spreadsheet'     require 'parseexcel'     equire 'parseexcel/parseexcel'     require 'parseexcel/parser'

      workbook = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel.parse("public/downloads/test.xls")       worksheet = workbook.worksheet(0)

        worksheet.each { |row|                 puts row.at(0).to_s

        }

But it prints 'nil'. I have data in my excel file.

Could you please help me?

Thanks, Anu
