in reply to Using Win32::OLE and Excel - Tips and Tricks

++article :-D ---> many thanks. Being new to perl this article is the closest thing I have for the bible right now... But... I have a few more question: I'm looking for a way to search for a certain value in my spreadsheet and getting it's location (inside my selected area). Finding is the easy part: $Sheet->Range("A1:B10")->Find("text to find") but now what??? 10x a 10^6, grupy.

    Hi,
    If you look at the VB from a macro it is... Cells(r,c).Find(...).Activate which tells you that the $Sheet->Range("A1:B10")->Find() operation is returning something... that you can "->Activate" it means that it is a Range object you're getting back... so you can try
    my $Range=$Sheet->Range("A1:B10")->Find("bob");

    HTH - Mark

      Wow... Thanks a lot!!! it was a great help, even though it took me a while to figure out how to extract the info I needed from the return value (it returns a hash so I had to do something like casting just to see the possible values...) cheers for the quick (and usefull) reply! grupy.
        That Tutorial is great, but I already made a Macro, and now it is quite a lot of work to convert it into perl. So is there a way to insert a macro (eg. from a textfile) into an existing excel workbook and run it form a perl program? Sorry for my lack of english but this isn't my native language.
