Issues in the Format in excel file generated from unix machine
Hi,
I have generated a report that contains many columns and since I need ir in excel format.. I just renamed te file to excel as follows:
cp vijay.txt vijay.xls
I have just attached this spreadsheet in the mail and I am getting it to my mail id. But, in the output excel, the columns that have text xharacters are displayed correctly. Example:
Office name Office number employee name emp number
----------- -------------- --------------- --------------
trichy 012345 vijay 82389
chennai 008393 arun 00123
madurai 037489 vaas 82738
salem 134567 allen 92389
here...
the excel shows the second column as
12345
8393
37489
134567
excluding the zeros .. also in the last column
00123 as 123.
I need these zeros to be included in the excel output..
Is there any way this can be obtained?
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Vijayakumar.

bio::seqio::excel
Bio::SeqIO::excel(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Bio::SeqIO::excel(3pm)
NAME
Bio::SeqIO::excel - sequence input/output stream from a
MSExcel-formatted table
SYNOPSIS
#It is probably best not to use this object directly, but
#rather go through the SeqIO handler system. Go:
$stream = Bio::SeqIO->new(-file => $filename, -format => 'excel');
while ( my $seq = $stream->next_seq() ) {
# do something with $seq
}
DESCRIPTION
This class transforms records in a MS Excel workbook file into Bio::Seq objects. It is derived from the table format module and merely
defines additional properties and overrides the way to get data from the file and advance to the next record.
The module permits specifying which columns hold which type of annotation. The semantics of certain attributes, if present, are pre-
defined, e.g., accession number and sequence. Additional attributes may be added to the annotation bundle. See Bio::SeqIO::table for a
complete list of parameters and capabilities.
You may also specify the worksheet from which to obtain the data, and after finishing one worksheet you may change the name to keep reading
from another worksheet (in the same file).
This module depends on Spreadsheet::ParseExcel to parse the underlying Excel file.

APPENDIX
The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _
new
Title : new
Usage : $stream = Bio::SeqIO->new(-file => $filename, -format => 'excel')
Function: Returns a new seqstream
Returns : A Bio::SeqIO stream for a MS Excel format
Args : Supports the same named parameters as Bio::SeqIO::table,
except -delim, which obviously does not apply to a binary
format. In addition, the following parameters are supported.
-worksheet the name of the worksheet holding the table;
if unspecified the first worksheet will be
used
worksheet
Title : worksheet
Usage : $obj->worksheet($newval)
Function: Get/set the name of the worksheet holding the table. The
worksheet name may also be a numeric index.
You may change the value during parsing at any time in
order to start reading from a different worksheet (in the
same file).
Example :
Returns : value of worksheet (a scalar)
Args : on set, new value (a scalar or undef, optional)
close
Title : close
Usage :
Function: Close and/or release the resources used by this parser instance.
We override this here in order to free up the worksheet and
other related objects.
Example :
Returns :
Args :
Internal methods
All methods with a leading underscore are not meant to be part of the 'official' API. They are for use by this module only, consider them
private unless you are a developer trying to modify this module.
_worksheet
Title : _worksheet
Usage : $obj->_worksheet($newval)
Function: Get/set the worksheet object to be used for accessing cells.
Example :
Returns : value of _worksheet (a Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Worksheet object)
Args : on set, new value (a Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Worksheet
object or undef, optional)
_next_record
Title : _next_record
Usage :
Function: Navigates the underlying file to the next record.
We override this here in order to adapt navigation to data
in an Excel worksheet.
Example :
Returns : TRUE if the navigation was successful and FALSE
otherwise. Unsuccessful navigation will usually be treated
as an end-of-file condition.
Args :
_get_row_values
Title : _get_row_values
Usage :
Function: Get the values for the current line (or row) as an array in
the order of columns.
We override this here in order to adapt access to column
values to data contained in an Excel worksheet.
Example :
Returns : An array of column values for the current row.
Args :
