Thanks a lot.

How to write to an existing .xlsm file through Perl

Could someone please clarify if there is any Perl package to edit a pre-existing .xlsm file?
I tried few examples posted in CPAN page and this site which use the combination of WriteExcel and ParseExcel::SaveParser. They are not working for .xlsm file.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
It's not possible to open an existing xlsm file using Excel::Writer::XLSX, as of version 0.72 Excel::Writer::XLSX, according to the page given by psxls (quote: "This module cannot, as yet, be used to write to an existing Excel XLSX file.").
A solution is to use Win32:OLE, it's well explained in this tutorial: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=153486. It tested it on my side, I was able to modify a pre-existing xlsm file.
I think Excel::Writer::XLSX should work for you. For getting started, you can check the related author's blog post and a related Perl script example.

What is JedaiLib-0.2.swc?

I found that Eclipse IDE for red5 generates sample client SWF code which is using JedaiLib-0.2.swc as a library. All actual code is hidden inside this file.
Where did this file come from? Who wrote it? Is it possible to obtain it's sources or documentation? Where?
URL
Also the source is here: http://code.google.com/p/jedai/

How to get SelBlocks Selenium IDE extension to find XML file?

Hopefully, Chris Noe, is in the house...
Selblocks is an extension for Selenium IDE that provides control-flow constructs such as if/then/else, looping and subroutines.
I'm trying to give interation over an XML file a whirl and am running into an error. It seems it can't find the XML file. The XML file is co-located with my Sel scripts. Please see the screenshot attached.
Is there a source for more documentation or examples? Like the sample test suite you have a picture of on the extension page?
Thanks,
Cameron

I ran into the same issue, and the problem turned out to be that my XML was invalid. In my case it was because one of the parameters I was using was a url containing ampersands. Changing & to & fixed the problem for me, and the variables loaded perfectly.

Convert rtf files to chm files ? Convert hlp files to chm files?

We were shipping .hlp files to customers when development was in VC++. The process to create it was as follows:
1. Create rtf file
2. Create new project in WinHelp and then compile to get .hlp file.
Now development has moved to .net and also I found that we can no longer open .hlp files in windows 7 or vista.
I wanted to know if there are any free command line tools using which we can convert these .hlp files to a .chm file ?
Also I wanted to know if there are any free command line tools to convert .rtf file to .chm ?
Microsoft has a tool which can convert Win Help projects to HTML Help. It is called HTML Help Workshop. You can open the existing .hpj project file with it and choose the option to convert it to HTML Help project .hhp. You can then compile the .hhp project with the same tool to generate the .chm file.
There are however many shortcomings in the tool. It generates an HTML page for each page in the rtf file but the naming of these HTML pages is random causing future referencing to be difficult.
If you just have the .hlp file and not the original Win Help project files, you can use a decompiler to generate the .hpj and .rtf files first and then convert them using HTML Help Workshop.
I found the following link quite helpful:
http://www.help-info.de/en/Help_Info_WinHelp/hw_converting.htm
EDIT: there are some 3rd party convertors and Help Authoring Tools (HATs) also available which may do the job better than HTML Help Workshop but most of them are not free.
Keep in mind that CHM is compiled HTML, and not very related to html, so your main problem is conversion of rtf to html
I would try to convert RTF to HTML, but on a topic per file.
What you could try is to input the RTF into word and try to save as HTML, and then use a program/script to split out the various topics to individual files and fixup references.
Then compile the result with a CHM compiler (like MS htmlhelp workshop)
