Hi All, Need help with syntax for selecting a worksheet within excell file by name. I have been trying $Sheet = $Book->Worksheets("Positions"); But I get invalid index error. Any help will be appreciated. I can not seem to find anything out there to show me how this is done. Thanks! 

use strict;
use Getopt::Std;
use Win32::OLE qw(in with);
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel';
use Cwd;

$Win32::OLE::Warn = 3; # die on errors...
my $Excel = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject
('Excel.Application') || Win32::OLE->new
('Excel.Application', 'Quit');
$Excel->{'Visible'} = 0;        #0 is hidden, 1 is visible
$Excel->{DisplayAlerts}=0;    #0 is hide alerts
# application or open new


opendir DIR , '.' or die "Could not open current dir: $!\n";
my @FilePattern = grep(/.xls/i, readdir DIR);
closedir DIR;

my $x="";
foreach $x (@FilePattern) {

my $file = $x;
my $out = (split(/\./,$file))[0];

print "in $file\n";
print "out $out\n";

my $dir = getcwd();
print "$dir\n";
 
my $book = $dir . "\\" . $file;
my $new =  $dir . "\\" . $out .".txt";
   
my $Book = $Excel->Workbooks->Open($book); # open Excel file

#returns name of 9 worksheets
for (1..$Book->Worksheets->Count) {
    print "$_: <", $Book->Worksheets($_)->Name, ">\n";
}
my $Sheet = $Book->Worksheets('Position'); #There is a worksheet calle
+d Position


$Book->SaveAs({Filename => $new,
              FileFormat => xlText});
$Book->Close;
$Excel->Quit();

}


I get the following output:
1: <AccountSummary>
2: <EquitySummary>
3: <Requirements>
4: <CurrencyBalances>
5: <SMASummary>
6: <SMADetail>
7: <Activity>
8: <Position>
9: <OptionsHedgeSummary>
