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.

test::excel::template::plus
Test::Excel::Template::Plus(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::Excel::Template::Plus(3pm)
NAME
Test::Excel::Template::Plus - Testing module for use with Excel::Template::Plus
SYNOPSIS
use Test::More tests => 1;
use Test::Excel::Template::Plus;
my $template = Excel::Template::Plus->new(
engine => 'TT',
template => 'test.tmpl',
config => { INCLUDE => [ '/templates' ] },
params => { ... }
);
$template->write_file('test.xls');
# compare the file we just made with
# an existing example file ...
cmp_excel_files("test.xls", "t/xls/test.xls", '... the excel files matched');
DISCLAIMER
This module is woefully incomplete. It works for my very basic purposes right now, but it is surely going to need lots or work in the
future to make it really usable.
DESCRIPTION
This module attempts to provide a means of testing and comparing dynamically generated excel files. Currently it only supports comparing
two excel files for some approximation of strutural (values within cells) and visual (formatting of said cells) equivalence.
As a by product of the implementation, elements may get compared which don't really need comparing, and things which do need comparing may
be skipped. This will get refined as time goes by and the module is used in more heavyweight situations.
FUNCTIONS
cmp_excel_files($file1, $file2, $msg)
BUGS
All complex software has bugs lurking in it, and this module is no exception. If you find a bug please either email me, or add the bug to
cpan-RT.
