This is the wrong forum, for sure!
I'd just run the xls through xls2txt in shell, get my value, grep for the line number, use sed or a shell loop to grab the right line. Of course, you can do it in PERL, or any other language with xls libraries, but if you do not learn PERL how can you maintain it?
