Rxl - Command Line Spreadsheet

Rxl is a minimalistic but somewhat useful spreadsheet program written in Ruby. This application was started during a flight as a way to make the time fly as fast as the aeroplane. It did, until my laptop was out of power. As usual I hugely underestimate the effort to make something (even this small) useful. Most effort has been put into parsing input data. A full parser may have been more suitable considering the time spent on regular expressions.

Current version is working but could of course be improved a lot. Download/extract rxl.tgz. Then run rxl.sh.

rxl.tgz

Installation and start up ...

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [universal-darwin10.0]
$ tar xzf rxl.tgz 
$ cd rxl
$ ./rxl.rb
$ ./rxl.rb
rxl>> help

rxl>> e a1 1,2
rxl>> e a2 2,2
rxl>> s
1, 2,
2, 2,
rxl>> e a3 sum(<a1>,<a2>),sum(<b1>,<b2>)
rxl>> s
1, 2,
2, 2,
