Hello,

I am acessing an Excel file by means of Win 32 COM technology.
For a given cell, I am able to read its formula. I want to make a map
of how cells reference one another, how different sheets reference one
another, how workbooks reference one another, etc.

Hence, I need to parse Excel formulas. Can I do it by means only of re
(regular expressions)?

I know that for simple formulas such as "=3*A7+5" it is indeed
possible. What about complex for formulas that include functions,
sheet names and possibly other *.xls files?

For example    "=Book1!A5+8" should be parsed into ["=","Book1", "!",
"A5","+","8"]

Can anybody help? Any suggestions?

Do you mean "how" or do you really mean "whether", ie, get a list of the
other cells that are referred to by a certain cell, for example,
"=3*A7+5" should give ["A7"] and "=Book1!A5+8" should give ["Book1!A5"]?
