FYI "Please" is probably a word that XL ignores completely. Thus do
what most humans in their sane state of mind would do. Killfile it. If
for some reason you can't, then ignore it. Certainly, do not feed it.

Subject: adding an excel worksheet to a generetad excel file via perl
Message-Id: <1176813529.720110.30370@l77g2000hsb.googlegroups.com>
Hi,
I'm currently working an a solution for exporting data from an oracle
database into an excel file, which is produced daily und therefore
kept up-to-date.
The solution works nice, the file is exported evey day with correct
data - but there's a small flaw. For the usage of this data a
disclaimer is provided as an extras excel worksheet within the
workbook - the problem is, that currently every small change (e.g.
management, contact, etc.) mut be implemented as a series of functions
bulding up the extra sheet and adding it to the gernerated file - it
thereby feels as if one has to do it manually all the time, which
requires some unterstanding of the code as well as time, as the
disclaimer data often changes in its measures (cell widths, etc.)
I now had the idea to change this system, allowing normal users to
easily access the disclaimer and thereby stop punishing me with
senseless extra work for every small change. Therefore i made an extra
Excel file, containing just the disclaimer so it could be easy for
anyone to change it.
The problem now is - how do i add such a file as an extra worksheet? i
tried some things up to now - which involves completely parsing it via
Spreadsheet::ParseExcel, spllitting up the data in an array and a hash
(cell contens and cell formats) an then trying to rewrite it via
Spreadsheet::WriteExcel. It seems somehow incompatble when writing the
data read (as it is somehow complicated to find out backgroundcolours,
internal graphics, cell-merging, and so on)
I do not have the option of another module (Win32::OLE will not work
due to the fact that i just have a Linux System) nor do i have the
time for a complete rewrite of the original code of the export script.
So does anyone have an idea how to read a single worksheet of an
existing excel file (e.g. disclaimer.xls) and adding it into a
generated one?
thanks,
florian

Of course I don't know all of the complexities
involved with your xls report generation, but
here's how I'd do that ...
You said the problem is some "small other excel file"
with necessary extra data - that gets updated occasionally?
An excel table is in most cases 'a table'. Therefore, I'd
write a small Perl script that reads the 'extra file' at
times and puts it into a new table of the main db (oracle
or whatever) if something changed.
On generation of the "real report" xls, I'd just 'select'
the data together with the real data and put each in its
place in the generated file.
Don't know if that would work in your case,
Regard
M.

Your exasperation is misdirected.
What RedGrittyBrick is trying to get through to you is that it's
your task to provide more information about what's happening. All
we can do is make guesses, which has availed nothing. So find out
how to access the error logs on your server. If that doesn't clear
things up for you, post the error message(s) and we'll see what we
can do.

Good news folks!
They tolm me that on free palns i will not be able to have access to
errro and access logs but they point the error.
My damn Gridinsoft Notepad ib=3Dnsreted a bom header on top of all my
perl vgi scritps that i have saves as utf-8.
this to be exact: A?A=BBA?#!/usr/bin/perl -w
So when i uploaded thee server on freehostia coulsnt understand this
is a perl file thats why i got a premature display errors.
When is aved my scripts as windows encoding and uploded allorked fine.
check 4yourslef: skieros.freehostia.com :-)
Whats troubles me though is with the same utf-8 encofing my webpage
was loaded fine in localhost.

If your provider doesn't give you access to the logs (as seems to be
the case), change the provider. You don't have a chance to get anything
significant up and running under these conditions.

Well freehostia is considered to be the best free hosting provider,
they also tol me to net hesitate to ask them again if i have a similar
problem, but i still wont be able to read the access and error
log.....
Sorry, for yesteraday i want exasperating it was my keyboard driving
nuts after accidentally spitted coffe on it as i mentioned few minutes

Thanks for the reply. This worked somewhat for me because I wasn't
looking to redirect to a file within the perl script itself... the
wrapper can do that.
I found that I had to add a SIGCHLD handler to break the loop. Also,
for stuff that sends unbuffered output, I couldn't use while (<CMD>),
instead I had to use sysread. I just love those helpful programs
that send "status dots" with no carriage return and no way to disable
them :(
In my new solution it still doesn't grab the last chunk of output
until the external prog finishes, so I'm going to look at what you've
posted and see if there are any improvements to be had there.
Thanks...

Yeah right, and if it is not, don't post it at all. Your articles are
nothing but a bunch of unfounded allegations, moralism and your

But we already had of topic discussions in some of those groups
(meandering into the non technical) that weren't stomped upon by the
group's subscribers. The difference in my eyes is, that Xah is a
troll. What makes Xah a troll is neither off-topic posts nor being
incoherent -- its the attitude. He's broadcasting his drivel to a
number of groups not with the intention to discuss (he hardly ever
answers to answers to his posts), but solely with the intention to
inform the world at large about his own magnificient thoughts. As also
evidenced by reposting some of his stuff (as if he had a fan community
or as if it were a FAQ) or posting stuff dated from 2002.
Trying to correct Xah's behaviour is probably impossible. People who
publish pictures of themselves as he does on the WWW probably don't
have any sense of embarrasment left -- and I consider that a necessary
part in the feedback loop which makes people change: "Look what you
did! Do you really want to look like a dolt in public?" "Umpf. No. God
that was embarrasing" <goes away with the resolution not to get into
such a situation again>.
But that won't happen to Xah.

The reason why I answered your posting at all (besides
seeing your x-post going into 5 ng's) is your mentioning
of 'God'. According to christian tradition (which is
somehow on topic in a Perl group) it is exactly the
case of Jesus (imho), who was (in his context) the
"/Do you really want to look like a dolt in public/"
man par excellance. Socrates also comes into the mind ;-)
AFAIK - both were symptoms of the decline
of their societies at the time ...

Likewise here. To the OP: we MUST know what kind of information one
must have AT THE END, and what is the "elementary event" which
triggers update of the info. [Also, some stats of the state at the
end are also useful.]
Hope this helps,

With lots of filenames and their common prefixes, a trie comes to mind.

You are using the magic ARGV filehandle so you need to precede this
with:
use open IN => ':encoding(utf16)'; # Default all open()s to UTF16
use open ':std'; # STDIN too, in case you use the script in pipeline
mode
