.SH "NAME"
extract_vba \- A utility to extract a VBA project from an Excel 2007+ xlsm file.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This utility is used  to extract the \s-1VBA\s0 project binary from an Excel 2007+ xlsm file. The \s-1VBA\s0 project can then be added to an Excel::Writer::XLSX file to enable it to have macros.
.PP
An \f(CW\*(C`xlsm\*(C'\fR file is a version of an Excel \f(CW\*(C`xlsx\*(C'\fR file that contains an additional \s-1VBA\s0 project binary file. The \f(CW\*(C`xlsm\*(C'\fR file format is a collection of mainly \s-1XML\s0 files in a \s-1ZIP\s0 container.
.PP
The extracted \s-1VBA\s0 project is an \s-1OLE\s0 Compound Document in binary format. It is named \f(CW\*(C`vbaProject.bin\*(C'\fR and is generally located in the \f(CW\*(C`xl\*(C'\fR directory of the \f(CW\*(C`xlsm\*(C'\fR file.
.PP
See the \f(CW\*(C`add_vba_project()\*(C'\fR section of the  Excel::Writer::XLSX documentation for more details.
.PP
Note: you can also extract the \s-1VBA\s0 project from an \f(CW\*(C`xlsm\*(C'\fR file using the standard Linux \f(CW\*(C`unzip\*(C'\fR command:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    unzip \-j macro01.xlsm xl/vbaProject.bin
.Ve
.PP
On Windows you can use any suitable Unzip application.
