Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi everyone, is there any way in perl using which we can print the selective words in bold when we write the output to a csv file?

Please find the example below

Code:

1. Filename: A 

2. name age 12 
3. city add 23

Line1 should only be bold. Outputs from other files being read in the directory will get appended to the csv file and they should follow the same format.

Requesting your kind help in achieving this.

Regards,
RB

Check for:

Code:

Term::ANSIColor

btw, If you do want an excel report, prefer:

Code:

SpreadSheet::WriteExcel

which is having more flexibility for excel files.

The csv (comma-separated values) file format is for plain text files. It does not support font formats, sizes etc. That is, a plain text csv file cannot have bold characters in it. You can of course, set those in your text viewer (gvim, emacs, Textpad, jEdit etc.) but it is not inherent to the csv specification or the file itself.

Formats like Rich Text Format (RTF), or Portable Document Format (PDF) support font formatting. You may want to make use of modules related to those formats. Search for "RTF" or "PDF" in cpan.org.
