PERL - [B]Cloning[/B] an Excel file
Hi
I plan to read an excel file (using Spreadsheet::ParseExcel) and create a clone of it with some other name (using Spreadsheet::WriteExcel).
I am able to get the skeleton by reading cells in every[row,column] pair of every worksheet. But I am not able to get the format string of these cells. I want the clone to reflect the formatting present in the parent as well!
http://search.cpan.org/~kwitknr/Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-0.2603/ParseExcel.pm#Formatter_class
is supposed to help me out here. But the usage is not very user-friendly!
Could someone help me out here.
Thanks,
Yuga

spreadsheet::parseexcel::workbook
Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook(3pm)
NAME
Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook - A class for Workbooks.
SYNOPSIS
See the documentation for Spreadsheet::ParseExcel.
DESCRIPTION
This module is used in conjunction with Spreadsheet::ParseExcel. See the documentation for Spreadsheet::ParseExcel.
Methods
The following Workbook methods are available:
$workbook->worksheets()
$workbook->worksheet()
$workbook->worksheet_count()
$workbook->get_filename()
$workbook->get_print_areas()
$workbook->get_print_titles()
$workbook->using_1904_date()
worksheets()
The "worksheets()" method returns an array of Worksheet objects. This was most commonly used to iterate over the worksheets in a workbook:
for my $worksheet ( $workbook->worksheets() ) {
...
}
worksheet()
The "worksheet()" method returns a single "Worksheet" object using either its name or index:
$worksheet = $workbook->worksheet('Sheet1');
$worksheet = $workbook->worksheet(0);
Returns "undef" if the sheet name or index doesn't exist.
worksheet_count()
The "worksheet_count()" method returns the number of Woksheet objects in the Workbook.
my $worksheet_count = $workbook->worksheet_count();
get_filename()
The "get_filename()" method returns the name of the Excel file of "undef" if the data was read from a filehandle rather than a file.
my $filename = $workbook->get_filename();
get_print_areas()
The "get_print_areas()" method returns an array ref of print areas.
my $print_areas = $workbook->get_print_areas();
Each print area is as follows:
[ $start_row, $start_col, $end_row, $end_col ]
Returns undef if there are no print areas.
get_print_titles()
The "get_print_titles()" method returns an array ref of print title hash refs.
my $print_titles = $workbook->get_print_titles();
Each print title array ref is as follows:
{
Row => [ $start_row, $end_row ],
Column => [ $start_col, $end_col ],
}
Returns undef if there are no print titles.
using_1904_date()
The "using_1904_date()" method returns true if the Excel file is using the 1904 date epoch instead of the 1900 epoch.
my $using_1904_date = $workbook->using_1904_date();
The Windows version of Excel generally uses the 1900 epoch while the Mac version of Excel generally uses the 1904 epoch.
Returns 0 if the 1900 epoch is in use.
