in reply to Excel Text parsing problem

If $cell->value() is printing correct value why not replace not working $worksheet->{Cells}[$row][$col]->{Val} with working $cell->value()?

It is anyway hard to give better advice as you present two completely different objects and one cannot tell what those contain and how those were created and therefore no way to tell how to fix "broken" line of code. Can you extract smallest possible part of your code that is complete application and presents your problem and paste it here so that we can run it on sample data?

Update: maybe you will be even able to locate the problem yourself while preparing such minimal app...

    Here you go
    use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel; my $parser = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new(); my $workbook = $parser->parse($filename); if ( !defined $workbook ) { die $parser->error(), ".\n"; } for my $worksheet ( $workbook->worksheet(1) ) { my ( $row_min, $row_max ) = $worksheet->row_range(); my ( $col_min, $col_max ) = $worksheet->col_range(); for my $row ( $row_min .. $row_max ) { for my $col ( $col_min .. $col_max ) { my $cell = $worksheet->get_cell( $row, $col ); next unless $cell; print "Row, Col = ($row, $col)\n"; print "Value = ", $cell->value(), "\n"; print "\n"; $txt->insert('end', "$row:$col----$worksheet->{Cells}[$row][$col]->{ +Val}\n"); } } }
    When the print line is executed it gives an output type: Row, Col = (8, 1) Value = LWSHI1C Row, Col = (8, 2) Value = 900 Row, Col = (8, 4) Value = 2 Row, Col = (8, 5) Value = Row, Col = (8, 6) Value = 3
    But the text line gives an output as below
    8:1----8:2---- 8:3---- 8:4---- 8:7----8:8----
    For the same code, the text line is not able to read the name (LWSHI1C) or any of the above values, it only reads certain columns .. Dont know why...

      Well...

      I've replaced worksheet(1) with worksheet(0) (because had data in first worksheet) and replaced $txt->insert with print 'end: ', "$row:$col----$worksheet->{Cells}[$row][$col]->{Val}\n"; statement and got proper results:

      c:\d\test>bla.pl Book1.xls Row, Col = (7, 0) Value = LWSHI1C end: 7:0----LWSHI1C Row, Col = (7, 1) Value = 900 end: 7:1----900 Row, Col = (7, 3) Value = 2 end: 7:3----2 Row, Col = (7, 5) Value = 3 end: 7:5----3 c:\d\test>

      What I can advice in that situation is: please make the same corrections in your script and run it in console to make sure you have data in worksheet(1).

        no i think you didnt understand the problem .. When i use the print command , it only displays the text in the command prompt window ( i have absolutely no problem in doing that evn now)... What i'm looking for is a way to print this text on a text area in a GUI window using perl Tk... I have defined the main widnow , text areas, alignment etc.. i have to display this text on the main GUI window..I use the $txt ->insert command to print it in the text area... but somehow it prints only some of the values(rather than all) ...
