Thanks for providing the solution. I have tried it out but the generated CSV file is not getting generated properly. It is splitting most of the content in the newlines in the CSV file and coming in a single column .

my $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new ({ binary => 1, eol => "\r\n", auto_diag =

Could you suggest something here ? I played with local $Text::Wrap::columns by changing the width but still issue is there .

Thanks for providing the solution. I have tried it out but the generated CSV file is not getting generated properly. It is splitting most of the content in the newlines in the CSV file and coming in a single column.

And that is what it should look like when viewing as a plain text file. Now take a closer look at where all the quotes are located. CSV allows embedden newlines, which is what you asked for. CSV doe not support display properties, like OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Excel and other Spreadsheet GUI's do. It is plain text with control characters: EOL/EOR (end-of-line/end-of-record), SEP (separator), QUO (Quotation), and ESC (escape). Read the specs if you do not (yet) understand.

A CSV parser (also builtin into spreadsheet GUI's) should be able to understand the structure and show you the data as you intended it to be.

I start to suspect that you do not want CSV, but pre-formatted output in columns. That is not what CSV is for.

Hi Tux ,

I think you are right I am looking for a pre formatted xls into CSV and I think CSV is not used for that. I am changing my strategy. Now I am thinking to split the original XLS into multiple small XLS based on the pattern match and then format these XLS files based on other pattern match.

To achieve this , I am trying below code. My intention is to split the big XLS file into small xls file based on the pattern match of the range of lines but while writing out the smaller xls based on above pattern match , I am getting empty xls.

I am trying to match range of lines between /DFT Tasks for Ration/ and /END OF RATION/ and write it into separate xls.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;
use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;

my $parser   = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new();
my $workbook = $parser->parse('Project_status_tracking_DFT.xls');
 
if ( !defined $workbook ) {
  die $parser->error(), ".\n";
}
 
my $workbook1 = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new('Ration_Status.xls');
my @color = qw(white green orange pink blue magenta silver);
my @format;
for my $i (1..@color){
 $format[$i] = $workbook1->add_format(bg_color => $color[$i]);
 $format[$i]->set_text_wrap();
}

for my $worksheet ( $workbook->worksheets() ) {
  my $worksheet1 = $workbook1->add_worksheet();
  my ( $row_min, $row_max ) = $worksheet->row_range();
  my ( $col_min, $col_max ) = $worksheet->col_range();
  
  # set minimum column width
  my @width;
  $width[$_] = 10 for ($col_min .. $col_max);
  
  for my $row ( $row_min .. $row_max ) {
    my @value = ();

    my $fmt; # format for complete row
    # store row in array
    for my $col ( $col_min .. $col_max ) {

      my $cell = $worksheet->get_cell( $row, $col );
      if (defined $cell) {
   if ( $cell =~ /DFT Tasks for Ration/ .. /END OF RATION/) { 
        $value[$col] = $cell->value() ;
        if ($value[$col] =~ m/Completed/i){
          $fmt = $format[1]
        }         
        # determine max width for each column
        my $len = length($value[$col]); 
        $width[$col] = $len if $len > $width[$col];  
      }
    }
}
    
    # write row
    for my $col ( $col_min .. $col_max ) {
    
      $worksheet1->write($row, $col, $value[$col],$fmt);
    }
  }
  # set column widths
  for my $col ( $col_min .. $col_max ) {
    $worksheet1->set_column($col,$col,$width[$col]) 
  }
}

Please provide your valuable inputs

Thanks Kshitij

Your script appears to be working correctly for me. Try this test program

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Text::Wrap;
use Text::CSV_XS;

my $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new (
 { binary => 1, eol => "\r\n", auto_diag => 1 });
open my $fh, ">", "wraptest.csv" or die "$!";

my @data = (
  ['1a this is more than 20 characters',
   '',
   '1c and another one that is more than 20 characters'],
  ['2a this is more than 20 characters',
   '',
   '2c and another one that is more than 20 characters'], 
);

for my $row_index (0..1){
  my @row;
  for my $col_index (0..2){
    my $source_cell = $data[$row_index][$col_index];
    my $value;
    if ($source_cell){
      local $Text::Wrap::columns = 20;
      $value = wrap ("", "", $source_cell);
    }   
    push @row , $value;
  }
  $csv->print ($fh, \@row);
}
close $fh;

Hi Poj ,

Thanks for providing this code . I have tested it , it seems I was looking for the pre-formatted xls content into CSV but I think that is not possible. Now I am splitting my consolidated XLS into multiple smaller XLS based on the pattern match and would like to color the xls based on some keywords in the smaller XLS.

I am facing one issue while doing this , I have already raised this issue( not able to print the range of lines from big XLS ) in response to Tux reply. </p?

Thanks

Kshitij
