Perl script to extract second column from a xls
Can Anyone tell me how to extract the second column of a xls sheet

Try out the Win32::OLE Perl module at CPAN.

Win32::OLE - search.cpan.org

Values in the 2nd column would be: $sheet->Cells($row,2)->{Value}

Hello All,

Code:
my $Book = $Excel->Workbooks->Open("u:/file_list.xls"); 
my $Book1 = $Excel->Workbooks->Open("u:/output.xls");

my $Sheet = $Book->Worksheets(1);
my $Sheet1 = $Book1->Worksheets(1);


$Book(second column) content looks like this:

Code:
DIR_source\CSD\CSD_SDdata.c

$Book1 (first column)content looks like this:

Code:
M:\srath_view\DIR_source\CSD\CSD_SDdata.c@@\main\ucm_source\600_int\a380_wipro_600_int\a380_std_600_cleanup_int\2

Take the content of each row of second column and compare it with each row of the first column of $Book1:


Code:
foreach my $row (1..200)
{ 
  my $var = $Sheet->Cells($row,2)->{'Value'};
  findl($var);
}

sub findl{
  my ($exp)= @_;   # $exp = expression to find
  my $val;
  my $line;
  my $cnt=0;
  for($cnt=1;$cnt<=65536;$cnt++){
    $val = $Excel->Cells($cnt,$1)->{'Value'};
    if ((defined $val) && (index($val,$exp) != -1)){
      $line =$cnt if (!defined $line);
      last;
    }
   }
  return ($line);  
}

Now i got the line on which
Code:
DIR_source\CSD\CSD_SDdata.c

exist.

Now i want to cut the content

Code:
\main\ucm_source\600_int\a380_wipro_600_int\a380_std_600_cleanup_int\2

where my match is done....

It means i want to cut the content after the \main till the end......

Hope you got my question
