Re: What is the best module for parsing Excel documents

in reply to What is the best module for parsing Excel documents

If you have Win32::OLE installed (I don't know if this is possible under Cygwin), you could have a look at ExcelPerl, e.g. convert the file to csv with something like:

perl excelPerl.pl -begin "use Text::CSV_XS; $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new( 
+{ binary => 1 } )" -ane "$csv->combine(@F); print $csv->string, $/" -
+f test.xls > outfile.csv
[download]

Or if you want to keep the formulas:

perl excelPerl.pl -begin "use Text::CSV_XS; $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new( 
+{ binary => 1 } )" -ane "$csv->combine( map { $_->{FormulaLocal} } @C
+); print $csv->string, $/" -f test.xls > outfile.csv
[download]

Best regards,
perl -e "s>>*F>e=>y)\*martinF)stronat)=>print,print v8.8.8.32.11.32"
