NAME¶
OLE::Storage_Lite - Simple Class for OLE document interface.
SYNOPSIS¶
use OLE::Storage_Lite; # Initialize. # From a file my $oOl = OLE::Storage_Lite->new("some.xls"); # From a filehandle object use IO::File; my $oIo = new IO::File; $oIo->open("<iofile.xls"); binmode($oIo); my $oOl = OLE::Storage_Lite->new($oFile); # Read data my $oPps = $oOl->getPpsTree(1); # Save Data # To a File $oPps->save("kaba.xls"); #kaba.xls $oPps->save('-'); #STDOUT # To a filehandle object my $oIo = new IO::File; $oIo->open(">iofile.xls"); bimode($oIo); $oPps->save($oIo);
DESCRIPTION¶
OLE::Storage_Lite allows you to read and write an OLE structured file.
OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS is a class representing PPS. OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::Root, OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::File and OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::Dir are subclasses of OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS.
new()¶
Constructor.
$oOle = OLE::Storage_Lite->new($sFile);
Creates a OLE::Storage_Lite object for $sFile. $sFile must be a correct file name.
The new() constructor also accepts a valid filehandle. Remember to binmode() the filehandle first.
getPpsTree()¶
$oPpsRoot = $oOle->getPpsTree([$bData]);
Returns PPS as an OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::Root object. Other PPS objects will be included as its children.
If $bData is true, the objects will have data in the file.
getPpsSearch()¶
$oPpsRoot = $oOle->getPpsTree($raName [, $bData][, $iCase] );
Returns PPSs as OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS objects that has the name specified in $raName array.
If $bData is true, the objects will have data in the file. If $iCase is true, search is case insensitive.
getNthPps()¶
$oPpsRoot = $oOle->getNthPps($iNth [, $bData]);
Returns PPS as "OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS" object specified number $iNth.
If $bData is true, the objects will have data in the file.
Asc2Ucs()¶
$sUcs2 = OLE::Storage_Lite::Asc2Ucs($sAsc>);
Utility function. Just adds 0x00 after every characters in $sAsc.
Ucs2Asc()¶
$sAsc = OLE::Storage_Lite::Ucs2Asc($sUcs2);
Utility function. Just deletes 0x00 after words in $sUcs.
OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS¶
OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS has these properties:
- No
- Order number in saving.
- Name
- Its name in UCS2 (a.k.a Unicode).
- Type
- Its type (1:Dir, 2:File (Data), 5: Root)
- PrevPps
- Previous pps (as No)
- NextPps
- Next pps (as No)
- DirPps
- Dir pps (as No).
- Time1st
- Timestamp 1st in array ref as similar format of localtime.
- Time2nd
- Timestamp 2nd in array ref as similar format of localtime.
- StartBlock
- Start block number
- Size
- Size of the pps
- Data
- Its data
- Child
- Its child PPSs in array ref
OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::Root¶
OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::Root has 2 methods.
new()¶
$oRoot = OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::Root->new( $raTime1st, $raTime2nd, $raChild);
Constructor.
$raTime1st, $raTime2nd are array refs with ($iSec, $iMin, $iHour, $iDay, $iMon, $iYear). $iSec means seconds, $iMin means minutes. $iHour means hours. $iDay means day. $iMon is month -1. $iYear is year - 1900.
$raChild is a array ref of children PPSs.
save()¶
$oRoot = $oRoot>->save( $sFile, $bNoAs);
Saves information into $sFile. If $sFile is '-', this will use STDOUT.
The new() constructor also accepts a valid filehandle. Remember to binmode() the filehandle first.
If $bNoAs is defined, this function will use the No of PPSs for saving order. If $bNoAs is undefined, this will calculate PPS saving order.
OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::Dir¶
OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::Dir has 1 method.
new()¶
$oRoot = OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::Dir->new( $sName, [, $raTime1st] [, $raTime2nd] [, $raChild>]);
Constructor.
$sName is a name of the PPS.
$raTime1st, $raTime2nd is a array ref as ($iSec, $iMin, $iHour, $iDay, $iMon, $iYear). $iSec means seconds, $iMin means minutes. $iHour means hours. $iDay means day. $iMon is month -1. $iYear is year - 1900.
$raChild is a array ref of children PPSs.
OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::File¶
OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::File has 3 method.
new¶
$oRoot = OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::File->new($sName, $sData);
$sName is name of the PPS.
$sData is data of the PPS.
newFile()¶
$oRoot = OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::File->newFile($sName, $sFile);
This function makes to use file handle for getting and storing data.
$sName is name of the PPS.
If $sFile is scalar, it assumes that is a filename. If $sFile is an IO::Handle object, it uses that specified handle. If $sFile is undef or '', it uses temporary file.
CAUTION: Take care $sFile will be updated by "append" method. So if you want to use IO::Handle and append a data to it, you should open the handle with "r+".
append()¶
$oRoot = $oPps->append($sData);
appends specified data to that PPS.
$sData is appending data for that PPS.
CAUTION¶
A saved file with VBA (a.k.a Macros) by this module will not work correctly. However modules can get the same information from the file, the file occurs a error in application(Word, Excel ...).
DEPRECATED FEATURES¶
Older version of "OLE::Storage_Lite" autovivified a scalar ref in the new() constructors into a scalar filehandle. This functionality is still there for backwards compatibility but it is highly recommended that you do not use it. Instead create a filehandle (scalar or otherwise) and pass that in.
