This works for me:
use Win32::OLE;
use strict;
my $Excel = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application') ||
Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit');
my $Book = $Excel->Workbooks->Open('c:\temp\jada.xls');
my $Sheet = $Book->Worksheets(1);
$Sheet->Range("A1")->Select;
$Sheet->Range("A1")->AddComment;
$Sheet->Range("A1")->{Comment}->Text('Floober');
print $Sheet->Range("A1")->{Comment}{Text}, "\n";
print $Sheet->Range("A1")->{Comment}->Text, "\n";

Does anyone know of a nice (FREE) chat server, that has a client that

I have been scouring the net and have found a few, but want to get some

The only thing I see that could be `wrong' is that -p is included
twice. The below works as well as the above in my tests. I
obviously missed the lack of any difference between using
(.*)?\n\n(.*)? and just plain \n\n in this case.

I still like Abigail's method for when you want to get rid of all
blank lines. That's one of the nicest one-liners I've seen. Excellent
golf score.

Believe it or not, up until now, I thought that the 'pi' switch had
nothing to do with 'p' (I've actually got a Perl book I can blame this on,
though. :\) Testing shows me wrong.

all of perl's command line options are single chars. which book had that
stupidity? and you should always refer to perlrun for that anyway to be
sure.

Pyro gives my code too much credit here. The version above
passes all of these and more:
0
1
2
1.1
1.2
...
It checks on valid ranges but not on valid format. Below is a corrected
version of that one, which does use the simple regex /\d{1,3}/ instead
of the convoluted one I showed in my previous post, so this is still
simpler than doing it with a regex only.

$good_ip = 0; ### of sections

The thing that you want stored `under' a key in your dbm file has
structure. There are many ways you might decide to store such a
structure so that it can be recreated when it is retrieved. But
probably the easiest is to use the Storable module. Anyway, you need
to decide and then implement that in your dbm file. The value in a
dbm file is only a string.
>I was hoping to be able to do it without relying on modules.
No problem, but maybe more error-prone. I guess that depends on your
problem. For simple data structures, I've implemented my own
serializations and ignored Storable. Your original question was how
to store a hash as a value in a dbm file. I guess you could choose to
represent the hash as key-value pairs of strings separated by pipe (|)
symbols. Then you could retrieve the value and use split to re-vivify
the hash. This may be a problem, if your keys or values can include
the pipe character. You decide, if you don't want to or can't use
Storable.

Hmm. I don't remember when CGI was included in the perl distribution.
It's been a while, but it is now. Your vendor must be behind the
times, eh?

Moving to another service sounds prudent, from what you've described.

Sorry -- I was indicating the scar, and describing the implement with which
it was made. I didn't mean to suggest that this implement shared ANY
properties with the construct in your JAPH (other, perhaps, than that both
are sharp).
Without having been back to read about Unicode (yet), I tried brute
force to see how high it MIGHT work:
%cat unique_ords
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my %unique;
$unique{chr $_} = $_ for 0 .. 2**$ARGV[0]-1;
print "\n", scalar(keys %unique), "\n";
___END___
I found 2**20 unique values, but wasn't prepared to go higher (for the
obvious reason). But I'm not going to ask what gives, I'm going to read the
docs instead.
Cheers, and thanks again

You might want to use ssh isntead of rsh.
Alternatively you can write a daemon (most simply out of

Abigail is the exact opposite of Godzilla!, and who the hell cares where the
troll is? Not only does Abigail know what she is talking about, but she
doesn't go out of her way to suck up to new posters so she can give them bad
advice under the cover of friendly words.
> Completely off

s/genuine/new\/inexperienced/ and I'll agree with you(I consider myself a
genuine poster. At least I'm pretty sure I'm not a bot. After seeing _The
Matrix_ I'm not absolutely sure of anything anymore). But just like Unix,
Abigail is under no compulsion to be user friendly. Those who understand
and feel the same way she does will get along with her fine. As for others,
maybe they should listen to someone/use something else. Far too many
people make the mistake of thinking Abigail(or any other prominent member of
the community/Newsgroup) is the typical Perl hacker or that she somehow
speaks for the community. It's simply not true. She's one voice in the
community. She doesn't speak for it and it doesn't speak for her.
Convenient that.

Oh, the original poster isn't going in my killfile or anything, but his
question wasn't a Perl issue. Since he now knows that, I'd be willing to
drop it and wish him luck in finding the answers he's looking for.

boy are you offbase. moronzilla was a self professed troll and a flaming
idiot. not only was she a font of bad perl code and bugs, but she
couldn't handle feedback at any level nor have a logical
conversation. she never entered into any threads which had regular
posters in them. she always trolled newbies. all of her 'code' was cgi
based even though few of the questions had to do with the web. she is
gone for now and hopefully forever.
abigail may be curt but many newbies need that. and she is almost always
correct, knows plenty of perl and computer stuff and you can actually
converse with her.
if you want moronzilla back, then you are to be deemed a major luser and
should be plonked by all here.

Regular expressions.
Sorry a bit obvious I know
open (OUT_FILE,">$outfile") or die "can not open $outfile output file";
open (FILE_HANDLE,$input_file) or die "Can not open $input_file input
file";
@file_lines=<FILE_HANDLE>;
foreach $line (@file_lines)
{
$line =~ s/****//g;
$line =~ s/arrays/hash/g;
# can't be bothered figuring out the rest, but you get the idea
print OUT_FILE $line;
}
close OUT_FILE;
close FILE_HANDLE;
This probably isn't the fastest method, by a long way, but it is very easy
to follow

Sorry this is totally wrong. Not reading your post I guess. Need to strip
the rest of the line.

Message-Id: <null>
Administrivia:
The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
comp.lang.perl.misc. For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
the single line:
subscribe perl-users
or:
unsubscribe perl-users
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
| NOTE: The mail to news gateway, and thus the ability to submit articles
| through this service to the newsgroup, has been removed. I do not have
| time to individually vet each article to make sure that someone isn't
| abusing the service, and I no longer have any desire to waste my time
| dealing with the campus admins when some fool complains to them about an
| article that has come through the gateway instead of complaining
| to the source.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.
To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.
For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
answer them even if I did know the answer.
