Writing an Excel Spreadsheet via a program's output
Hi folks,
I'm new to this forum, but hopefully someone has an idea on the below situation. First of all, I am not a Windows programmer (VB, VBScript, Visual C++, ASP, etc). I have written several programs using Unix shell scripting (bash, sed, grep, etc) that are not really anything more than "find a string and output that string to an outfile". Over the iterations, I have upgraded it to write out in a tab delimited format and even included a cell that totals the contents of column B (included: =SUM(B1..B300) in my last cell. All along, I have just written the file as tab delimited plain text with a .xls extension. I am sensing an upcoming need to explore more of Excel's functions, like bolding text, writing to different worksheets in the same workbook, etc. Does anyone know of a resource that explains Excel file formatting to the degree that I can produce an Excel file as the output to a simple program? Many thanks, Blake Thompson |
