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.
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 - ruby excel replacement on the command line
Commands:
h - show help
<A..Z><0..N> - cell (column, row)
s - show evaluated sheet
e - show entered sheet
e <cell> <data> - enter cell data
<data>,<data>,...<enter> add data for row and edit in next row
<data>;<data>;...<enter> add data for col and edit in next col

"string"
1234, 0x1220 - numbers
<a1> - cell reference
<a1>-<a3> - row/column range
<a1>,<a2>, ... - cell set
Cell expressions:
+,-,*,/,** - evaluated in ruby priority order
<expr> ? <true_expr> : <false_expr>

Future:
- Add ReadLine support (http://bogojoker.com/readline/)
