in reply to Re^12: Iterating Through Cell Blocks with Spreadsheet::Read
in thread Iterating Through Cell Blocks with Spreadsheet::Read
I'm not at all familiar with Spreadsheet::Read (in fact, I'm not greatly familiar with spreadsheets in general), but the code you show seems close to being workable. Do this:
-
Get rid of the whole
my %sheet = ();
statement. In the code you show, it seems to be doing nothing more than confusing the heck out of you. - The foreach (@x) { ... } loop seems OK for looping over the values of the @x array, with the $_ default scalar being "topicalized" to each column-name string in turn.
-
Form the cell name as has been discussed and access the cell within the $sheet hash reference (I'm assuming this is a valid operation) using the -> arrow operator, e.g.
$name = $sheet->{"${_}28"};
or perhaps
$name = $sheet->{$_ . '28'};
- Report results. Don't just say "it doesn't work", that's almost useless. Describe your expectations and report how the code fails to meet your expectations. Report exact warning or error messages.
- Ponder the Basic debugging checklist.
Good luck.
