## 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
