Dear Monks,

I am using use Spreadsheet::XLSX. I am trying to capture character "Alt+Enter" in CSV file and trying to convert it to space

$mycell_value = $excel_sheet_cell -> {Val};
$mycell_value=~ s/\n+/ /gs;

[download]
where $excel_sheet_cell -> {Val} contains value in cell. This is still Not working. THe CSV file , if it is opened in Excel, it still shows Newlines in cell. Can someone kindly help.

Update: I am using $mycell_value variable to output in CSV (and Not $excel_sheet_cell -> {Val})

I guess some monks have mis-understood the question. They have interpreted that I want to put Alt+Enter character in CSV. But the requirement is reverse.

I already have an Excel file (as input) which contains a cell having Enter character. This character is entered by some user, using 'Alt+Enter' key combination. Now I want to convert this Enter character (or 'Alt+Enter' char) to space. This is what is Not happening and I am getting CSV file with Enter character (which is spoiling structure of CSV). Thank, SanPerl
