--------8<------ It works well but I'm searching something particular. I need to write a hyperlink inside a cell and displaying something else as the text. --------8<------
You should record a macro and convert the generated VBA to Perl to see where youre going. The trick with this is to treat the Hyperlinks Add call as a hash. However if all you want to do is add hyperlinks it's a lot easier to use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel. But then again Win32::OLE allows you a lot more functionality, and as your code and requirements grow you'll probably want to stick with Win32::OLE. Suggest you read up on perlmonks as they have some very good examples. Here's some working code:- use strict; use warnings; use Win32::OLE; use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel'; my $File = 'C:\\Temp\\OLE.xls'; unless(-e $File) { open(XLS, ">$File") or die "Cant write to $File:- $!"; close XLS; } my $Excel = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application') || Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit'); $Excel->{Visible} = 1; my $Book = $Excel->Workbooks->Open($File); my $Sheet = $Book->Worksheets(1); my $Selection = $Sheet->Range("A1"); $Sheet->Hyperlinks->Add({Anchor => $Selection, Address => "http://activestate.com", TextToDisplay => "AS", ScreenTip => 'is da bomb'}); Cheers, Just in _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
