xls2csv.py won't print to outfile
Hi,

I'm trying to use pyExcelerator's module "xls2csv" converter in ubuntu.

The following works great, except the standard out is in the terminal.
Code:
sudo python xls2csv.py test.xls

I want the csv delimited output to be redirected to a file. When I enter....
Code:
sudo python xls2csv.py test.xls > outfile

it complains and states "bash: outfile: Permission denied".

This is a unix issue right? Why won't it let me print to an outfile?

Thanks!

catppt

ppt2text(1)						      General Commands Manual						       ppt2text(1)

NAME

       catppt - reads MS-PowerPoint file and puts its content on standard output

SYNOPSIS

       catppt [-lV] [-b  string ] [-s  charset ] [-d  charset ] files

DESCRIPTION

       catppt reads MS-PowerPoint presentations and dumps its content to stdout.

OPTIONS

       -l      list known charsets and exit successfully

       -bstring
	       slides break string. This string (by default - formfeed) would be output at the end of each slide page.

       -dcharset`
	       -  specifies  destination  charset  name.  Charset file has format described in CHARACTER SETS section of catdoc(1) manual page. By
	       default, current locale charset would be used if langinfo support was enabled at the compile time.

       -scharset
	       - specifies source charset. Typically, PowerPoint files use UNICODE strings with known charsets, but for some reason you  may  wish
	       to override it.

       -V      outputs version number
