Question : Text count in excel worksheet

Hello
Not sure if Ruby is suited to the following or not?
In a given worksheet certain text can be repeated in any given cell - Ideally I would like an Input box where I can type in text to search - 2nd input box to select range required - and the output to another worksheet.  There will be more than one type of text search for and not sure if I can enter more than one piece of text to search for in the input box? So, let say the following peices of text require a count in a given range and the output would be as follows:
Column A                              Column B
Time to Answer                     11
Resolution Time                      7
Helpdesk                                45

Your help much appreciated
Phil

Answer : Text count in excel worksheet

You can use the winole stuff from ruby to access Excel via COM. That seems to be as good a solution than anything else.
