Perl or PHP are the easy way. Maybe there are other 3rd party tools out there that can do this, but if you want to use pure bash you'd have to build a file following the Excel Binary File Format Specification that can be found
here. Reading und understanding that 48MB pdf-document is not what I call an easy way...
Edit: Phyton seems to be able to handle excel files to.

Can anyone tell the option to change the file type in unix.
i.e. if a file is in csv(Comma Separating Values) format, it should be changed to xls(ordinary MS-Excel) format. But renaming command is not changing to correct file format.
Thanks in advance,

libcurl-easy
libcurl(3) libcurl easy interface libcurl(3)
NAME
libcurl-easy - easy interface overview
DESCRIPTION
When using libcurl's "easy" interface you init your session and get a handle (often referred to as an "easy handle"), which you use as
input to the easy interface functions you use. Use curl_easy_init(3) to get the handle.
You continue by setting all the options you want in the upcoming transfer, the most important among them is the URL itself (you can't
transfer anything without a specified URL as you may have figured out yourself). You might want to set some callbacks as well that will be
called from the library when data is available etc. curl_easy_setopt(3) is used for all this.
When all is setup, you tell libcurl to perform the transfer using curl_easy_perform(3). It will then do the entire operation and won't
return until it is done (successfully or not).
After the transfer has been made, you can set new options and make another transfer, or if you're done, cleanup the session by calling
curl_easy_cleanup(3). If you want persistent connections, you don't cleanup immediately, but instead run ahead and perform other transfers
using the same easy handle.
