# NAME

xlsgrep.pl - Grep spreadsheet files in the current directory and any subdirectories.

# SYNOPSIS

xlsgrep.pl some_regex_pattern

# DESCRIPTION

xlsgrep utilises the power of perls regular expressions to search every cell, on every sheet in any spreadsheets files found in the current directory or subdirectories.

There are currently no switches supports. Sum of the standard grep switches can be handled using perls regular expression syntax. The equivalent of the ignore case grep switch (-i) can be applied to pattern by prefixing with (?i) to give (?i)pattern
