You may want to look into Spreadsheet::ParseExcel. It'd go something like this (this is very untested; it's meant only to give you a very rough idea of what to do):

use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel; my $a_wks = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new->Parse('a.xls')->{ Worksheet +}[ 0 ]; my $b_wks = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new->Parse('b.xls')->{ Worksheet +}[ 0 ]; my @re = map { my $re = $b_wks->Cell( $_, $b_wks->{ MinCol } )->Val; qr/\Q$re +/ } $b_wks->{ MinRow }..$b_wks->{ MaxRow }; for my $i ( $a_wks->{ MinRow } .. $a_wks{ MaxRow } ) { my $string = $a_wks->Cell( $i, $a_wks->{ MinCol } )->Val; for my $re ( @re ) { if ( $string =~ /$re/ ) { do_the_i_found_it_dance(); last; } } }

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
