== DESCRIPTION:

Anyss is a very basic wrapper for gnumeric's ssconvert binary.

== FEATURES:

• conversion of *.ods, *.gnumeric & *.xls to csv file
• supports overriding of insensible file extension
• iteration through each row of the spreadsheet, or returning a string reader

== PROBLEMS:

• only works with system with newer versions of gnumeric that provides the ssconvert binary (testings done on gnumeric-1.8.3)

== SYNOPSIS:

require 'anyss'

converting *.ods, *.gnumeric or *.xls to *.csv

in, out = %w( plants.ods plants.csv ) Anyss.to_csv( in, out ) # generates 'plants.csv' from 'plants.ods' Anyss.to_csv( in ) # generates 'plants.ods.csv' from 'plants.ods'

applies strategy to each row in *.ods, *.gnumeric, *.xls or *.csv

Anyss('fruits.ods') do |row| name, color, smell = row puts "The color of #{name} is #{color}, and it smells like #{smell} !!" end

returns instance of Anyss::StringReader

reader = Anyss('fruits.ods')
reader.each { |row| ... }

overriding insensible file extension, and generating 'plants.foo.csv'

from 'plants.foo'

Anyss.to_csv( 'plants.foo', :type => :ods ) Anyss( 'fruits.foo', :type => :ods ) { |row| ... }
