The screen is formatted with specific fields to receive data and this data is provided by the Excel spreadsheet. So my problem is how to transfer automatically from Excel to that screen, knowing that each field to receive a specific data. as an example; the information screen to recieve data has multiple fields such as "Part #, Quantity, Description, etc." and my spreadsheet contains all of this information but each content of the Excel cell must be followed by <return/enter> so the cursor in the screen will jump to the next field and then input the next data.

excel::template::element::cell
Excel::Template::Element::Cell(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Excel::Template::Element::Cell(3pm)
NAME
Excel::Template::Element::Cell - Excel::Template::Element::Cell
PURPOSE
To actually write stuff to the worksheet
NODE NAME
CELL
INHERITANCE
ELEMENT
ATTRIBUTES
o TEXT
This is the text to write to the cell. This can either be text or a parameter with a dollar-sign in front of the parameter name.
o COL
Optionally, you can specify which column you want this cell to be in. It can be either a number (zero-based) or an offset. See
Excel::Template for more info on offset-based numbering.
o REF
Adds the current cell to the a list of cells that can be backreferenced. This is useful when the current cell needs to be referenced
by a formula. See BACKREF and RANGE.
o WIDTH
Sets the width of the column the cell is in. The last setting for a given column will win out.
o TYPE
This allows you to specify what write_*() method will be used. The default is to call write() and let Spreadsheet::WriteExcel make the
right call. However, you may wish to override it. Excel::Template will not do any form of validation on what you provide. You are
assumed to know what you're doing.
The legal types (taken from Spreadsheet::WriteExcel) are:
o COMMENT
Add a comment to the cell
o blank
o formula
o number
o string
o url
o date_time
other write_* methods as defined defined Spreadsheet::WriteExcel would be integrated by request
CHILDREN
FORMULA
EFFECTS
This will consume one column in the current row.
DEPENDENCIES
None
USAGE
<cell text="Some Text Here"/>
<cell>Some other text here</cell>
<cell text="$Param2"/>
<cell>Some <var name="Param"> text here</cell>
In the above example, four cells are written out. The first two have text hard-coded. The second two have variables. The third and fourth
items have another thing that should be noted. If you have text where you want a variable in the middle, you have to use the latter form.
Variables within parameters are the entire parameter's value.
Please see Spreadsheet::WriteExcel for what constitutes a legal formula.
