I can't seem to find any real documentation on getting the Excel parsing stuff to work like I expect. Here is my script--copied and modified from an example. I've looked throught the win32::ole module and can't find any serious documentation on things like --
my $date = $Sheet->Cells($row,$col)->{'Value'}; -- what other options do I have besides Value for example. For this particular instance, the value comes back in a non-date format which doesn't help me much. Any help appreciated -- especially documentation. I don't mind figuring this out myself, but I can't tell where to go to find the info I need. -------------------------------------------------------- use strict; use Win32::OLE qw(in with); use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel'; $Win32::OLE::Warn = 3; # die on errors... # get already active Excel application or open new my $Excel = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application') || Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit'); # open Excel file my $Book = $Excel->Workbooks->Open("C:\\DW_Enhancement_Master.xls"); # You can dynamically obtain the number of worksheets, rows, and columns # through the Excel OLE interface.
