hey guys how would you write this command in perl script

C:\GPS\grep.exe FTS, EVKCONFIGFILE.txt -> GPRS.xls

little background, grep.exe is a program that searches EVKCONFIGFILE.txt for FTS, and paste everysingle line that has FTS, in GPRS.xls

i have tried this method

@grep = ('C:\GPS\grep.exe', 'FTS,', 'EVKCONFIGFILE.txt', '->', 'GPRS.xls');
system(@grep) == 0 or die "system @grepfailed: $?";

There are several ways to accomplish this task. This is the most likely method I'd use, which doesn't rely on a system call.

Code
open my $fh, '<', 'EVKCONFIGFILE.txt' 
  or die "failed to open 'EVKCONFIGFILE.txt' $!"; 
 
my @fts = grep(/FTS/, <$fh>); 
print @fts;

First, you should understand that you were not creating an Excel file. You were creating a plain text file which you happen to view in Excel.

If you want a plain text file then either use command line input/output redirection to send the output to a file or open another filehandle in the script and send the output to that filehandle instead of STDOUT.

If you want to create a true Excel binary file, then you need to use the Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module.
