Hi, I've extended Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Simple to allow using Spreadsheet::ParseExcel's Unicode formatter by simply adding a parameter like this: my $xls = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Simple->read('file.xls', 1); If you're interested in adding this to the CPAN distribution, I can send you the source code or a diff. Regards, -- Gunther Show quoted text

I don't really like "magic number" parameters. If this could be modified to be a hashref of options: e.g. my $xls = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Simple->read('file.xls', { unicode_formatter => 1, }); then I'd be more inclined to include it. (Feel free to suggest a better name for the option too) Do you also have a test case for this? Thanks, Tony

I've changed the parameter. This reads a file as Unicode: my $xls = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Simple->read("test.xls", {as_unicode => 1}); These work as previously: my $xls = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Simple->read("test.xls"); my $xls = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Simple->read("test.xls", {as_unicode => 0}); Show quoted text
> > Do you also have a test case for this? >
I'm afraid I don't -- the Unicode-related errors come directly from Spreadsheet::ParseExcel, so there's really no way of testing this other than looking at the console output and not seeing the gigantic bunch of warnings one usually gets. Let me know if you're still interested. Thanks, -- Gunther Show quoted text

There must be some way of testing it - what sorts of problems does it cause? Thanks, Tony

Usually when you parse an Unicode Excel file, you get a bunch of warnings looking like: Character in 'C' format wrapped in pack at [...]/Spreadsheet/ParseExcel/FmtDefault.pm line 68. With the Unicode reader turned on, this doesn't happen. ( See http://www.annocpan.org/~KWITKNR/Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-0.2602/ParseExcel.pm #note_626 ) Show quoted text

OK. Should be easy enough to catch by setting $SIG{__WARN__} and calling fail() if there are any warnings. If it's not something you know (or can work out) how to do I'll have a look at it at some stage. Thanks, Tony
