Ok lets see if i can make this clear....i've recorded a macro with some output files....and now i would like to have all the output files appear on one excel sheet...but i want to loop the files in Perl...where it would open the file and run the code from the macro on each one...but is it possible to convert the vba macro into perl ..???..im new to this..so if its not clear..just respond and ask me to clear it up ...
