[Wtr-general] Excel Or Text File?

[Charley Baker]

Here's an excellent page on scripting Excel through Ruby:
http://wiki.rubygarden.org/Ruby/page/show/ScriptingExcel
You could have a column with your constants and the next column over be the
values and iterate through the rows assigning those to a constant Hash or
something of the sort. There are a variety of ways to set up your constants,
you really shouldn't be losing any flexibility, it might just be a matter of
reorganizing.
