Hi,

I don't have Excel so I boshed together a Works Spreadsheet
and saved it as a Tab delimited file

a    b    c    d    e    f
2a    2b    2c    2d    2e    2f
3a    3b    3c    3d    3e    3f

[download]


Then I ran the following :

use strict;
use warnings;

open JIM, ">>c:/perl/testa.txt" or die "Rats : $!";

print JIM "<FileName>\ttesta.txt\t4c\t4d\t4e\t4f\n";

close JIM;

When I opened the file in Works again I got : 

a    b    c    d    e    f
2a    2b    2c    2d    2e    2f
3a    3b    3c    3d    3e    3f
<FileName>    testa.txt    4c    4d    4e    4f

Does this help at all?
