6 Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::SaveParser - Rewrite an existing Excel file.
7
9 Say we start with an Excel file that looks like this:
10 -----------------------------------------------------
12 | | A | B | C |
13 -----------------------------------------------------
14 | 1 | Hello | ... | ... | ...
15 | 2 | World | ... | ... | ...
16 | 3 | *Bold text* | ... | ... | ...
17 | 4 | ... | ... | ... | ...
18 | 5 | ... | ... | ... | ...
19 Then we process it with the following program:
21 #!/usr/bin/perl
23 use strict;
25 use warnings;
26 use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;
28 use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::SaveParser;
29 # Open an existing file with SaveParser
32 my $parser = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::SaveParser->new();
33 my $template = $parser->Parse('template.xls');
34 # Get the first worksheet.
37 my $worksheet = $template->worksheet(0);
38 my $row = 0;
39 my $col = 0;
40 # Overwrite the string in cell A1
43 $worksheet->AddCell( $row, $col, 'New string' );
44 # Add a new string in cell B1
47 $worksheet->AddCell( $row, $col + 1, 'Newer' );
48 # Add a new string in cell C1 with the format from cell A3.
51 my $cell = $worksheet->get_cell( $row + 2, $col );
52 my $format_number = $cell->{FormatNo};
53 $worksheet->AddCell( $row, $col + 2, 'Newest', $format_number );
55 # Write over the existing file or write a new file.
58 $template->SaveAs('newfile.xls');
59 We should now have an Excel file that looks like this:
61 -----------------------------------------------------
63 | | A | B | C |
64 -----------------------------------------------------
65 | 1 | New string | Newer | *Newest* | ...
66 | 2 | World | ... | ... | ...
67 | 3 | *Bold text* | ... | ... | ...
68 | 4 | ... | ... | ... | ...
69 | 5 | ... | ... | ... | ...

72 The "Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::SaveParser" module rewrite an existing
73 Excel file by reading it with "Spreadsheet::ParseExcel" and rewriting
74 it with "Spreadsheet::WriteExcel".
75
78 new()
79 $parse = new Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::SaveParser();
80 Constructor.
82 Parse()
84 $workbook = $parse->Parse($sFileName);
85 $workbook = $parse->Parse($sFileName , $formatter);
87 Returns a "Workbook" object. If an error occurs, returns undef.
89 The optional $formatter is a Formatter Class to format the value of
91 cells.
92
94 The "Parse()" method returns a
95 "Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::SaveParser::Workbook" object.
96 This is a subclass of the Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook and has the
98 following methods:
99 worksheets()
101 Returns an array of "Worksheet" objects. This was most commonly used to
102 iterate over the worksheets in a workbook:
103 for my $worksheet ( $workbook->worksheets() ) {
105 ...
106 }
107 worksheet()
109 The "worksheet()" method returns a single "Worksheet" object using
110 either its name or index:
111 $worksheet = $workbook->worksheet('Sheet1');
113 $worksheet = $workbook->worksheet(0);
114 Returns "undef" if the sheet name or index doesn't exist.
116 AddWorksheet()
118 $workbook = $workbook->AddWorksheet($name, %properties);
119 Create a new Worksheet object of type
121 "Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Worksheet".
122 The %properties hash contains the properties of new Worksheet.
124 AddFont
126 $workbook = $workbook->AddFont(%properties);
127 Create new Font object of type "Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Font".
129 The %properties hash contains the properties of new Font.
131 AddFormat
133 $workbook = $workbook->AddFormat(%properties);
134 The %properties hash contains the properties of new Font.
136
138 Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::SaveParser::Worksheet
139 Worksheet is a subclass of Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Worksheet. And has
141 these methods :
142 The "Worksbook::worksheet()" method returns a
144 "Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::SaveParser::Worksheet" object.
145 This is a subclass of the Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Worksheet and has
147 the following methods:
148
150 $workbook = $worksheet->AddCell($row, $col, $value, $format [$encoding]);
151 Create new Cell object of type "Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Cell".
153 The $format parameter is the format number rather than a full format
155 object.
156 To specify just same as another cell, you can set it like below:
158 $row = 0;
160 $col = 0;
161 $worksheet = $template->worksheet(0);
162 $cell = $worksheet->get_cell( $row, $col );
163 $format_number = $cell->{FormatNo};
164 $worksheet->AddCell($row +1, $coll, 'New data', $format_number);
166
168 Please note that this module is currently (versions 0.50-0.60)
169 undergoing a major restructuring and rewriting.
170
172 You can only rewrite the features that Spreadsheet::WriteExcel supports
173 so macros, graphs and some other features in the original Excel file
174 will be lost. Also, formulas aren't rewritten, only the result of a
175 formula is written.
176 Only last print area will remain. (Others will be removed)
