Fetch an excel sheet name in ruby

[Deepa Rajendran]

hi,
I got this error.in `method_missing': Open (WIN32OLERuntimeError)
OLE error code:800A03EC in Microsoft Office Excel

For the below coding:

require 'win32ole'
require 'rubygems'

xl = WIN32OLE.new('Excel.Application')
wb = xl.Workbooks.Open("C:\Documents and
Settings\mpf18.MPFD18\Desktop\Achievement-with Target(JNJ-Wise)")
ws = wb.Worksheets(1)
puts ws.Name
wb.Close
xl.Quit

Escape (double-up) your backslashes in double quotes, or place your
filepath in single quotes.

Change this:

wb = xl.Workbooks.Open("C:\Documents and
Settings\mpf18.MPFD18\Desktop\Achievement-with Target(JNJ-Wise)")

To this:

wb = xl.Workbooks.Open("C:\\Documents and
Settings\\mpf18.MPFD18\\Desktop\\Achievement-with Target(JNJ-Wise)")

Or this:

wb = xl.Workbooks.Open('C:\Documents and
Settings\mpf18.MPFD18\Desktop\Achievement-with Target(JNJ-Wise)')
