CPU & Memory Converting .xls into .csv and find & Replace

Hi All,
Please give me the solution to the following ASAP.

1) Converting the .xls into .csv
Script i tried,
Code:
mv hello.xls  hello.csv

The above given script converting the .xls file into .csv successfully. But after i run the below unix command I am no able to open the .csv file, its giving some "Unable to Read" Error message.

2) Script I tried to replace the commas by single space in the converted .csv file is,
Code:
tr ', ' '  ' < hello.csv > hello1.csv

When I am running the above scripts for the small files (file contains 10 records of data only) its working fine. But while trying to the big files its giving the error message as "Unable to read". Commands are running without any problem.

Plesae give me the proper solution to the above problem ASAP friends.

Velava.S Smilie
