<!-- Initializing the output item of the script -->
<arc:set attr="output.data" />
<!-- Creating the input item for the operation and passing it in -->
<arc:set attr="excel.file" value="C:\Temp\movies.xlsx" />
<arc:set attr="excel.version" value="2007" />
<arc:call op="excelListSheets" in="excel" out="sheets">
  <!-- Creating some output data and file from the sheet names in the workbook -->
  <arc:set attr="output.data" value="[output.data]\nSheet = [sheets.sheet] | Hidden = [sheets.ishidden]" />
  <arc:set attr="output.filename" value="results.txt" />
</arc:call>
<!-- Push the output item out as a file -->
<arc:push item="output" />
The output of this script looks like this: 
Sheet = music | Hidden = false
Sheet = tvshows | Hidden = true
Sheet = film | Hidden = false
