Use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel.

Start by reading in the contents of your first spreadsheet. Let's assume you're using worksheet titled "gendata".

use strict; use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel; my $oBook = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook->Parse('first.xls'); if ( ( ! $oBook ) || ( ! defined( $oBook->{Worksheet} ) ) ) { die( "Cannot parse first spreadsheet" ); } my $sheetone = $oBook->Worksheet('gendata') || die( "No such worksheet gendata" );
Then read in the contents of the second spreadsheet (let's assume you're using worksheet titled "gensearch"):
my $oBook2nd=Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook->Parse('second.xls'); if ( ( ! $oBook2nd ) || ( ! defined( $oBook2nd->{Worksheet} ) ) ) { die( "Cannot parse second spreadsheet" ); } my $sheettwo = $oBook->Worksheet('gensearch') || die( "No such worksheet gensearch" );

Next let's assume that you want to search all the strings in the first 10 rows of column A in workbook two against the same column/row in workbook one.

for ( my $row = 0; $row < 10; $row++ ) { my $search = qr/$sheettwo->{Cells}[$row][0]->{Val}/; my $data = $sheetone->{Cells}[$row][0]->{Val}; if ( $data =~ m/$search/ ) { printf( "Column A Row %d matches\n", ( $row + 1 ) ); } }

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.
