Hi monks i have an excel sheet in which have the following format:

For eg: Excel sheet name: Entries.pl Row A1 B1 Column A1 apple.c 123 B1 define.h 104 C1 struct.c 236 D1 math.h 256 E1 monks.pl 100

The excel sheet will have the same format for more than 1000 entries.

There are many documents (.doc) in a folder which contains the following word but the number is wrong over there...

for eg: 1.doc=> apple.c Entry No:321 monks.pl Entry No:125 2.doc=> define.h Entry No:256 struct.c ENtry No:258

I have to open each and every document manually and i have to see into excel sheet and change the entry no...Currently there are more than 1000 docs and is there any way to do it using perl ..Im not an expert in perl just now the basics ..Pls help out monks...
