Hi all, I have a spreadsheet with around 47 columns and n number of rows. I only need certain columns for further processes in my script.


Ideally, I would need the values from first , third and the columns from 13 -49. I would like to print these in comma separated format like this/assign the values to a variable($id, $snum, @rs)/or in a hash : 
1, 23,45, 454,54,45,656,56,565,65,....
2,343,4545, 5656,56,6767,67,6,767,6,76,767,...
3,454, 56546,4545,6,45,64,5,45,4,5,4,54,54,5,4,...

I would actually want them to either be able to get the values of those columns stored in a variable or able to print to a file in a csv format. Advance thanks for all the suggestions!
