Cross-platform Generate xlsx Document

FYI, with regard to RubyZip.

I had repackaged it into a SketchupExtension archive.
I have them on my disk, but do not find that I’ve posted them here before. (Possibly at SketchUcation?)

Anyway, I RBZ packaged RubyZip versions 1.1.6 and 1.2.0, PM me if you would like one or both.

But generally we’ve discussed it in the past …

@DanRathbun

It is a gem.

Gem::install('rubyzip')
require "zip"

Documentation:

http://www.rubydoc.info/github/rubyzip/rubyzip

Example:

begin
  require 'zip'
rescue
  Gem::install('rubyzip')
  require 'zip'
end

def zip_my_files(
  export_dir = "C:/some/path/to/export/files",
  zip_dir  = "C:/some/path/to/export/",
  zip_name = "export.zip"
)
  zip_path = File.join( zip_dir, zip_name )

  Zip::File.open(zip_path, Zip::File::CREATE) {|zipfile|
    Dir::chdir(export_dir) {
      files = Dir["*.*"]
      files.each do |file|
        zipfile.add( file, File.expand_path(file) )
      end
    }
  }
end

A little more on installing and catching errors for loading RubyZip here in …
