There's an automation which runs on a Unix box.  It needs to do various excel manipulations such as can be done with win32::ole.  However, this library is for windows only I'm told.  Is there an equivalent library for unix perl?  If so, could you point me in the right direction?

Unfortunately, as the name suggests, Win32::OLE is strictly for Windows. However, you might consider SpreadSheet::WriteExcel if you want to just write excel files in a cross-platform manner.

1)\nThe trick to making a script run under csh is\nthat the first line should like like the following:\n\n#!/bin/csh\n\nThere's no need to compile it or give it a special\nextension; just make sure it has the execute bit set.\n\nBy the way, you can set other interpreters the same\nway, for example:\n\n#!/bin/perl\n#!/bin/ksh\n#!/bin/awk\n\n\n2)\nYour use of "expr" is OK except that you're using the\nwrong quote marks.  you need the "back ticks" to\ncause the output of a command to be assigned into\na variable:\n\nmyVariable=1\nmyVariable=`expr $myVariable + 1`\necho $myVariable\n\nOh, yeah, and one other thing is that you appear\nto have inadvertently mixed up using "myVar" and\n"MyVariable".\n\n----------------- more info -------------------\n\nOh, yeah, again ...\n\nI don't much care for csh programming; I think that\nksh is considerably less confusing.  For that matter,\nI don't much care for csh interactively either.  I\nused it for 3 or 4 years (back when the choice was\ncsh or sh), but there's just nothing to recommend csh\nover ksh as far as I'm concerned.\n\nIn any case, I forgot the myriad rules for assigning\nvalues in csh (set, setenv, assigning to lower case\nbut using upper case, blah blah blah).\n\nAlso, when you use /bin/expr, each "value" needs to\nbe a distinct argument -- so put spaces between the\noperands and operators.\n\nHere's my version and a test run:\n\n$ cat script\n#!/bin/csh\n\nset myVariable=1\nset myVariable=`expr $myVariable + 1`\necho $myVariable\n\n\n$ script\n2\n\n\nMaybe using "bc" would be easier:\n\n$ cat script2\n#!/bin/csh\n\necho $* | bc\n\n\n$ script2 1+1\n2\n\n\nHow's that?

There are all used as batch scripts and user inputs. Portability and user preferences is the reason people choose different ones.\n\nsh, csh, ksh\nash, bash

Here's one way:\n\n#!perl\n\nwhile(<>) {\nif($_ =~ m/abxy$/) {\nchop;\nprintf("$_ -- $.&#92;n");\n}\n}\n\nTurn this into a perl file (say findinline.pl) then run\nPerl findinline.pl somefile\n\nAny qualifying line will print out followed by the line number.

Here is something like you wanted.  Try this it is free(?)\n\nhttp://www.hiddensoft.com/autoit3/docs/introduction.htm\n\n\nAutoIt v3 is a freeware BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI.  It uses a combination of simulated keystrokes, mouse movement and window/control manipulation in order to automate tasks in a way not possible or reliable with other languages (e.g. VBScript and SendKeys).\n\nAutoIt was initially designed for PC "roll out" situations to configure thousands of PCs, but with the arrival of v3 it is also well suited to performing home automation and the scripting of repetitive tasks.\n\nAutoIt can: \n\n Execute Windows and DOS executables \n Simulate key strokes (supports most keyboards layouts) \n Simulate mouse movements and clicks \n Move, resize and manipulate windows \n Interact directly with "controls" on a window (set/get text, move, disable, etc.) \n Work with the clipboard to cut/paste text items \n Work with the registry \nUnlike AutoIt v2, the new v3 language has a much more standard syntax -similar to VBScript and BASIC - and now supports complex expressions, user functions, looping and everything else that veteran scripters would expect.\n\n \n\nAs with previous versions, AutoIt has been designed to be as small as possible (~115KB) and stand-alone with no external .dll files or registry entries required.  Scripts can also be compiled into stand-alone executables with Aut2Exe.\n\n \n\nThere have also been updates to the ActiveX and DLL versions of AutoIt called AutoItX - unlike v2 this will be a combined control (COM and standard DLL functions in the same DLL).  AutoItX will allow you to add the unique features of AutoIt to your own favourite scripting or programming languages!  See the AutoItX helpfile (Start &#92; AutoIt v3 &#92; Extras &#92; AutoItX &#92; AutoItX Help File) for more information and examples.

Could always use a remote client such as Tight vnc, its pretty good, works with windows and unix. Just be careful which ports you leave open ;-)\n\nphil\n\nps. its open source

Run it through a compiler. That is what they do. Convert symbollic text (software code) into binary. The compiler you use all depends on the language you are programming in.\n\nFor example, for c/++, in linux you could use gcc/gpp to compile an application. It could then be ran standalone on other linux computers. Windows/Mac/all computers in the world work this way. Just FYI the most basic compiler is called an assembler, it takes symbollic assembly language (the most basic human readable computer code) and converts it directly to the hex equivelant, i.e. binary. Many high level languages like C convert to assembly before the final compilation into hex (binary).

Looks like it suppose to print properties for a file with the name  you pass as the first arguement\n\nIt appears to be depended on what ls -l <filename> outputs and may not work on all version of Unix.

You can add a Perl parser into a C++ program.  Many games do something similar to this; writing the game engine in C++ and scripting the AI using Perl.

what kind of program are you doing?? all i know is visual basic stuff

IN computer language ,everything need to be converted into machine level language. THen it is executed by the processor.\nIn your program also, 1st preprocessor directive include<stdio.h> defines the standard function like printf.\nmain is SPECIAL function  and print is standard input statement.\nCompile covert your source into machine level language. while linker link the files with macros,preprocessor directives. Run command execute the program..//this is abt windows.\nIN unix\ninstead of turboc, there is CC compiler. which compiles the code. while to run the program just type ./a.out\n\nso steps to doin uNIX are:\n\n1. vi filename.c\n2.cc fileaname.c\n3./a.out\n\n\nHi! what type of more detail u want? about execution in unix or programming in unix?or anything else..?

May be you need a scheduler.\n\nIn version of Windows before XP there was an "at" utility, which you could use for scheduling.\nIn Windows XP just open Control panel->Performance and Maintainance->Sheduled tasks and add tasks you want. Interface is very simple.\n\nOr you may need a macros in Word or Excel or something like that.\n\nIn this case, open the Services->Macros in Word/Excel or see the manual of program you are using about macros.

There is new software out called Open Office and it works a lot like excel, I think they are interchangable. It is free and it has something like word too.\nhttp://www.openoffice.org/\nGive it a try and see what you think...

This is called 'Column View'. This is a hold over into OS X from the old NeXTStep "Workspace Manager", the specific part is called 'File Viewer'. A File Viewer work-alike was implemented into MacOS 9 in an app called "Greg's Browser"\n\nIt has been implemented in X-Windows under the name 'Afterstep' I know of no MS Windows implementation.
