I assume this spreadsheet is some kind of template that needs to be filled in otherwise just creating a new one would be much easier. Whilst scanning the spreadsheet for the keywords you need to store the cell address for each if you want to write back the values.

Try this
#!perl use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dump 'pp'; use Win32::OLE; $Win32::OLE::Warn = 3; # get already active Excel application or open new my $Excel = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application') || Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit'); # open Excel file my $dir = "E:\\Automation Related\\Perl Scripts - ALL\\IMS_debugging\\ +Excel\\"; my $excelfile = 'UE_NW_Parameters.xlsx'; my $Book = $Excel->Workbooks->Open($dir.$excelfile) or die Win32::OLE->LastError(); # get keywords my $kwhashref = get_keywords($Book); # create regex my $match = join '|',map{quotemeta} keys %$kwhashref; my $re = qr/$match/; #print $re; # search files and update workbook my @files = grep { -f } (<*main_log>); for my $file (@files){ my $line_no = 0; print "Reading $file\n"; open my $fh, '<', $file or die $!; while (<$fh>){ chomp; ++$line_no; # special pcscf_v4 extract addr if (/($re).*addr = ([.\d]+)/){ print "Line $line_no kw=[$1] value=[$2] special\n"; update_sheet($1,$2); next; } # match more than 1 per line e.g. usim and isim while (/($re)[ =]*([.\d]+)/g){ print "Line $line_no kw=[$1] value=[$2]\n"; update_sheet($1,$2); } } close $fh; } #pp $kwhashref; # debug # save as new spreadsheet $Book->SaveAs($dir.'updated_'.$excelfile); $Book->Close; # update sheet sub update_sheet { my ($kw,$value) = @_; my ($sht,$r,$c) = @{$kwhashref->{$kw}}[0..2]; $Book->Worksheets($sht)->Cells($r,$c+1)->{Value} = $value; $kwhashref->{$kw}[3] = $value; # for debugging } # get keywords sub get_keywords { my ($book) = @_;; my %word = (); for my $sht (1..$book->Worksheets->Count){ my $Sheet = $book->Worksheets($sht); # determine position of keywords # $Sheet->UsedRange->Value; my $rng = $Sheet->UsedRange->Address( { ReferenceStyle => -4150 } ); # R1C1:R2C2 my ($r1,$c1,$r2,$c2) = ($rng =~ m/[RC](\d+)/g); $r2 = $r2 || $r1; $c2 = $c2 || $c1; print "Sheet $sht Range $rng r1=$r1 c1=$c1 r2=$r2 c2=$c2\n"; # build keyword hash storing cell position for my $c ($c1..$c2){ for my $r ($r1..$r2){ my $val = $Sheet->Cells($r,$c)->Value || ''; if ($val){ $word{$val} = [$sht,$r,$c]; # sheet row col } } } } return \%word; }
