I'm going to make some assumptions about your file and you tell me if I'm right: You're trying to parse a Office 2008-generated file It's a file with Chinese or Japanese characters in it OR it's a file created on Vista If so, S::PE probably doesn't handle something correctly. If so, create a minimal testcase and send it to the author. He's pretty good about fixing stuff quickly. My criteria for good software: Does it work? Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?	[reply]
Re^2: Spreadsheet:Parse Excel problem by svar (Initiate) on Apr 14, 2008 at 13:14 UTC
Some info: It is NOT created on Vista It is Excel 2003 It doe snot have chines or japanese(it does have greek characters though, but that is NOT the problem) Now I have traced this down to this: I get this error at the my $eBook = $e->Parse($filename); stage. I played with the file (bisenting it until I hit the problem line) and found out that this occurs in lines with A lot of characters in one column, for instance the column below Yes, all this blob is ONE entry in one row and 1 column. I wonder if we can get around this with SpreadsheetParseExcel Error: operation found the following exception: class javax.ejb.TransactionRolledbackLocalException:null; CausedByException is: ORA-01401:

In other words, you have an Oracle error (ORA-01401: inserted value too large for column) and you want Spreadsheet::ParseExcel to fix it? My criteria for good software: Does it work? Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?	[reply]

Re: Spreadsheet:Parse Excel problem by jasonk (Parson) on Apr 13, 2008 at 17:52 UTC
I don't deal with excel much, but the error message itself is pretty simple, and is explained rather clearly in perldiag... You tried to reference a substr() that pointed outside of a string. That is, the absolute value of the offset was larger than the length of the string. So basically you get this message as a warning if you try to do something like: `my $string = "foobar"; my $letter = substr( $string, 42, 1 );` [download] It's also a fatal error if you try and do that while using substr as an lvalue (as in `my $x = substr( $string, 42, 1 );`). www.jasonkohles.com We're not surrounded, we're in a target-rich environment!

Re^2: Spreadsheet:Parse Excel problem by Not_a_Number (Prior) on Apr 13, 2008 at 18:57 UTC
...the error message itself is pretty simple Indeed it is. But I'm not sure how this observation helps the OP. Lines 1848-1850 of SpreadSheet::ParseExcel are: `for(my $i = ($iDiff/2); $i>=1;$i--) { substr($sWk, $i+1, 0) = "\x00"; }` [download] Looks like a bug in the module to me, unless svar is doing something very strange when using it.

this is Spreadsheet:Write Excel version 2.20 Umm, I thought the problem was with Spreadsheet::ParseExcel (whose latest version is 0.32) ??	[reply]
Re^2: Spreadsheet:Parse Excel problem by svar (Initiate) on Apr 15, 2008 at 14:27 UTC
$main::vers=Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->VERSION; print "version=$main::vers\n"; It is 0.2603 (right the value I quoted was for Write excel, which I also was going to use)	[reply]

I found what caues the problem, but it looks like a bug # you should get a substr outside of string error # now open the excel file, go to the entry in the notes collumn, line 2 and just get # rid of the first character(a greek terminal s) , the one before the : #run again and behold! it runs fine # Bug reproduced with perl v5.8.7(activestate build 815), also same on linux # The offending entry
