Question : Ruby - load text file to excel

Hello
Experimenting with excel - know how to open new workbook and enter some basic values - but struggling to know how we could import a text file into excel - if possible.
Lets say the text file has 4 columns as ...
Col - A        Col - B      Col - C             Col -D
ABCDE        25.4         ASD-123         TEST
DFRGH        453.36     SSS45             TEST2

My script so far in terms of entering basic data .......
require 'win32ole'  
   excel = WIN32OLE.new('excel.application')
   excel.visible = true
   excel.workbooks.open('U:\Phil_Sivyer\pip.xls')
   excel.range('A1').value = 'Test'
   excel.range('A2').value = 25.4
   a = excel.range('A2').value
   excel.range('A3').value = a*2
   excel.range('A4').value = a*2/4.5
