Re: HTML::TableExtract problem handling merged cells across rows

The tagged data comes to me in a file with an XLS extension, but I have copied the file and changed the new file extension to shtml.

Why? Why not try xls ?

Thanks for your response. My reason for not trying xls now is because I already have Table::Extract working in this same perl file to transform/clean 6 other reports. None of the those reports, however, contain "merged" cells within the table. I'd really like to get the HTML::TableExtract working. Not sure if its my code, but it feels like a bug within HTML::TableExtract.	[reply]

I'm not sure about that, The html you show has rowspan=3D2 which is not valid value for https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/td#attr-rowspan Also you forgot to give the wanted/correct output your program is supposed to produce	[reply]
