I am nearly finished with my script that reads a series of Excel Files and outputs certain data into a text file.

I have no problem reading specific cells using the Spreadsheet::ParseExcel module, but now I am required to read a text box and I am not sure how to go about this.

Is another module required to accomplish this or can I manage using ParseExcel?

Thanks for any assistance.

I'm not exactly sure what it is that you are up to, but if you are trying to read the text box off of some submitted HTML form then you don't need another module. But then, you never need another module for anything but they do make life easier. I'm a big fan on the ubiquitous CGI.pm (http://search.cpan.org/dist/CGI.pm/CGI.pm) module, especially if I'm going to be returning some HTML.

Thanks for the quick response.

Actually, what I meant was that I needed to read a text box within the Excel file, not an HTML text box.

Do you know how I could do this?
