Hello everyone, Finally I get to use perl at work! =) I am to facing the following problem:
There is a folder on a file-server in our network which contains 60 - 70 subfolders. Each of these subfolders contains a number of Excel-files (.xls) ranging from zero to maybe five. Each of these files again contains several worksheets, from which I am to extract certain cells (these are at fixed positions) and somehow put these to some nice output format (csv, html, maybe an SQL-database). As of now, I am more concerned about extracting the data. There is a module, Spreadsheet::ParseExcel, which I've tried out, and it seems to work. But the documentation says it can not handle all versions of excel. I am unsure what versions of Excel were used creating these files, probably Excel 2000 and XP. I'm going to try Spreadsheet::ParseExcel first, but if it does not work - what other ways to access Excel-files are there? What reasons could you think of to prefer one way over the other(s)? Thanks for your suggestions, kind regards, Benjamin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
