Copying data from excel file

Hii friends,

I am a newbie to unix/shell scripting and got stuck in implementing a functionality.Dear experts,kindly spare some time to bring me out of dark pit Smilie..
My requirement is somewhat wierd,let me explain what i have and what i need to do...
1) there are several excel workbooks containing multible sheets.say a workbook named test with multiple sheets namely test.1,test.2,test.3....
2) i need to write a shell script that reads the first column of a specified sheet say test.2 and copy it in the first column of a new excel workbook.
3)Then step no. 2 needs to be repeated for other workbooks from where data needs to be copied.

Write now i can just copy data from a workbook having single sheet using the command
cut -f1 -d"," < inputfile | paste -s -d","> destination file

Kindly advise Smilie

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. AUTHOR
