About
Included in the download is a Ruby implementation of the XLLoop server process. For more
information on Ruby try www.ruby-lang.org.
Usage
The Ruby server implementation consists of a single file: xlloop.rb. The code listing
for a reflection-based example server is as follows:
require "xlloop"
class MyFuncs
def sum(*a)
a.flatten.compact.inject(0) { |b,i| b+i }
end
def product(a,b)
a*b
end
end
h = ReflectionHandler.new
h.push(MyFuncs.new, "MyFuncs.")
f = XLLoopServer.new(h)
f.start
This creates a new server (a socket listening on port 5454) and exposes to functions in Excel;
MyFuncs.sum and MyFuncs.product.
