Setting outfile with (brackets)

I have a file that comes in as 20081002_invoices.txt and needs to go out as
invoices(20081002).xls When ran this file should have three seperate fields as follows:

column1 column2 column3
data1 data2 data3

when i run the script it produces the invoices(20081002).xls but moves the three fields into one column in excel?

column1
data1,data2,data3

I have tried numerous ways and it looks like it is the () it does not like, unfortunately that is how it needs to go out.

any help??Smilie
