## Recipes

### Get all data from some cols of first sheet of a XLS file

```ruby
require "simple-spreadsheet"

s = SimpleSpreadsheet::Workbook.read("my_spreadsheets_file.xls")
s.selected_sheet = s.sheets.first
s.first_row.upto(s.last_row) do |line|
  data1 = s.cell(line, 1)
  data2 = s.cell(line, 3)
end
```

### Get all data from some cols of first sheet of a XLS file (option 2)

```ruby
require "simple-spreadsheet"

s = SimpleSpreadsheet::Workbook.read("my_spreadsheets_file.xls")
s.first_row.upto(s.last_row) do |line|
  data1 = s.cell(line, 1, 1)
  data2 = s.cell(line, 3, 1)
end
```

### Accessing CSV Excel (semicolon separated)

```ruby
require "simple-spreadsheet"

s = SimpleSpreadsheet::Workbook.read("my_spreadsheets_file.csv", ".csvx")
```

### Accessing CSV Tab separated

```ruby
require "simple-spreadsheet"

# specify format
s = SimpleSpreadsheet::Workbook.read("my_spreadsheets_file.csv", ".csvt")
# use .tsv
s = SimpleSpreadsheet::Workbook.read("my_spreadsheets_file.tsv")
```

## Future plans

- Reading support for all formats
- More efficient reading for big spreadsheets (adding sequential reading to Roo standard methods)
- Writing support for all formats
- More reading functionalities
- Edit support for all formats
