in thread How to dump a webpage content into a excel

Hi
Thanks for the solution. It is working.
But what if I want to dump these 3 tables (in this current html content)in one worksheet instead of 3 worksheets.
I removed the $workbook-> add_worksheet line from the loop and dumping these all in one work sheet . But the 1st and last tables are not properly shown. How can I get rid of that ?
Also how can I show the column headers in bold ?

    Did you put the 3 tables elsewhere on the sheet? Or do you overwrite them? For bold format you need to look into the documentation of Spreadsheet::WriteExcel.

      Hi
      Yes , I commented out the add_worksheet line inside the foreach loop and created only one worksheet before the for each loop (please see below).
      Also, iterating the $nrow++ one more time after the $ts->rows foreach. Please correct me .

      my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet("Table"); my $te = HTML::TableExtract->new( keep_html => 0 ); $te->parse($response); my $counter; foreach my $ts ($te->tables) { # my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet("Table ".$counter++); my $nrow=0; foreach my $row ($ts->rows) { my $ncol=0; foreach my $col (@$row) { $worksheet->write($nrow,$ncol++,$col) if defined $col; } $nrow++; } $nrow++; }
