in reply to Re^3: Reading a zipped file
in thread Reading a zipped file

Yeah sorry i was a bit unclear, I thought that the unzipping occurred as in the same way as for windows winzip - in that a file is produced that is the output. like test.zip when unzipped gives test.txt.

The method i have i know will take a long time. If indeed it is stored in memory that will surely cane any memory if the file is large and so decrease the programs running speed. Again if this is unzipped in memory how then is it possible to write a spreadsheet file from this memory data.
Am i way off here and being really stupid.

    Don't tell this, I understand it's difficult to move the first steps in a totally unknown world full of many ways to do stuff.

    Back to business, I think that a simple search for Excel in CPAN will be useful for you. I haven't used any of them, but I think that you'll be able to understand how to solve your problem.

    Flavio (perl -e "print(scalar(reverse('ti.xittelop@oivalf')))")

    Don't fool yourself.
