Tool for Convert XLS into CSV in UNIX
Hi

I wanted to convert some XLS files into CSV format in my UNIX box. Unix box is handling very important data which are related to data warehouse.It is fully optimized by installing minimum packages since server need more resources to handle reports generating.

Just for convert XLS files into CSV i supposed to use , JODConverter. But JODConverter runs based on OPenOffice.OpenOffice service needed to be started.

But in my Server , i can not install openoffice software .Is there any possibility to activate OpenOffice Service only?

or else can somebody recommend me to any other ways to do this?

I dont need a software to convert files. I need some thing possible to execute in command line because i wanted schedule the job via a cron job.

Thanks in Advance
Luke

       -z z_level
		 Configure compression level to  z_level.  0 is disabled (no compression), 9 is highest compression.

EXAMPLES

       Convert the cflowd file flows.cflowd to the flow-tools file flows.  Store as Version 5 with compression level 5.

	 flow-import -V5 -z5 -f0 < flows.cflowd > flows

EXAMPLES

       Convert	the  ASCII  CSV  data  in flows.ascii to flow-tools format.  The ASCII data must include all fields represented by 0xFF31EF in the
       order listed above.  Store as Version 5 with no compression.

	 flow-import -z0 -f2 -m0xFF31EF < flows.ascii > flows

BUGS

       The pcap format is a hack.
