My question sounds like something that should come up with a simple google search but, alas, it doesn’t.

There are plenty of hits with examples of how to create a new workbook or worksheet and whatnot, but there doesn’t seem to be a comprehensive reference guide that lists all supported calls (and, preferable, how to use them.)

In my case, I’m planning to use Ruby (I can already open the file etc), but that’s about it.

I want to read in an existing file, go through all its worksheets and cell and check if a row matches a specific pattern, and then do something with that. Not overly complicated.

But, e.g., how do I even figure out how many worksheets are in a workbook? etc. etc.

Thanks!
Tom

    Best source would likely be the MSDN library.

    Is this what you were looking for?

    Amended: Correct link should be http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee861528.aspx as stated by barrowc in comments.
