Hi Val,

Alternatively, there are other Excel file I/O packages available on CRAN if you would prefer to consider other options as well. They will typically require Java being installed, rather than Perl, as I and Greg do.
The read_excel() function from the "readxl" package has an argument "sheet" which should facilitate what Val wants to do.
In my experience the read_excel() function (which is, as you indicate, Java rather than Perl based) is quite a bit faster than the Perl based alternatives.
