XLS2CSV(1)		     General Commands Manual		      XLS2CSV(1)

NAME
     xls2csv - convert binary Excel (.xls) files to CSV

SYNOPSIS
     xls2csv  input-file  [-l] [-v] [-e encoding] [-t sheet] [-q quote char] [-f
     field separator]

DESCRIPTION
     xls2csv converts binary Excel files (.xls) to comma-separated values (CSV),
     sending the plain-text output to standard out.

     Unless otherwise specified, all sheets in the workbook are  processed,  and
     the  output  values are double-quoted, separated by semicolons, and encoded
     as UTF-8. This behavior may be customized with the options below.

OPTIONS
     -l     List sheets contained in the file but do not output their contents.

     -t sheet
	    Only process the named sheet.

     -e encoding
	    The iconv output encoding (default "UTF-8")

     -q quote char
	    The character used to quote strings (default '"')

     -f field separator
	    The character used to separate strings (default ';')

     -v     Verbose mode

BUGS
     The conversion tool has not been tested on big-endian machines.
