Try a less precise regex, for example

Hi Poj ,

Somehow I have modified prior script and now the below stated script is finally achieving whatever I was expecting it to achieve. It is generating the Text wrapper new XLS with different colors . Only last problem I could see here -> Empty rows. Since we are generating multiple XLS based on the pattern match , new generated excels are having lots of empty rows. In the below script , how can we delete those empty rows ?

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;
use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;
use Text::Wrap;
my $parser   = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new();
my $workbook = $parser->parse('Project_status_tracking_KSHITIJ.xls');
 
if ( !defined $workbook ) {
  die $parser->error(), ".\n";
}
 
my $workbook1 = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new('_Status.xls');
my @color = qw(white green orange pink blue magenta gray);
my @format;
#my $format1 = $workbook1->add_format(bg_color => 'green' );
#$format1->set_text_wrap();
#$format1->set_align('vjustify');

for my $i (1..@color){
 $format[$i] = $workbook1->add_format(bg_color => $color[$i], border =
+> 1);
# $format[$i]->set_align('vjustify');
 $format[$i]->set_text_wrap();
}

#my $format7 = $workbook1->add_format(bg_color => 'gray');
#my $format7->set_size(30);


my $format7 = $workbook1->add_format(bg_color => 'gray' , size => 15 ,
+ bold => 1 , border => 1 );
my $format8 = $workbook1->add_format(bg_color => 'gray' , size => 15 ,
+ bold => 1 , border => 1);
my $format9 = $workbook1->add_format(bg_color => 'orange' , size => 12
+ , bold => 1 , border => 1);
#$format7->set_size(30);


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) {
local $Text::Wrap::columns = 60;
  my $value = wrap("", "", $cell->value());
             if ($value=~ /Project Ratio/ .. $value =~ /END OF RATION/
+){
         $value[$col] = $value;
        if ($value[$col] =~ m/Completed/) {
          $fmt = $format[1];
        } elsif ($value[$col] =~ m/In Progress/i){
          $fmt = $format[2];
        } elsif ($value[$col] =~ m/Planning/i) {
          $fmt = $format[3];
       } elsif ($value[$col] =~ m/On Hold/i) {
          $fmt = $format[4];
       } elsif ( $value[$col] =~ m/END OF/i) {
          $fmt = $format[5];
       } elsif ( $value[$col] =~ m/Date assigned/i) {
          $fmt = $format8;
       } elsif ( $value[$col] =~ m/Project Homestead/i) {
          $fmt = $format7;
       }
        elsif ( $value[$col] =~ m/DFT Tasks for Homestead/i) {
          $fmt = $format9;
       }

       

      
        # 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]);
   $worksheet1->set_column('F:G', 58); 
   $worksheet1->set_column('A:C', 30); 
   #$worksheet1->set_column('C', 20); 
  }

how can we delete those empty rows

Don't create them. Use a flag like I showed and use it to control the output. Use a different row variable that increments after each write. e.g. $row_out

# write row
   if ($flag){    
     for my $col ( $col_min .. $col_max ) { 
       $worksheet1->write($row_out, $col, $value[$col],$fmt);
     }
     $row_out++;
     $flag = 0 if $flag == 2;
   }

update: corrected $row_out++
