Dealing with XLS file with multiple tabs
Hey Guys ,

Recently working on a requirement , i had to deal with XLS file with multiple tabs and the requirement was as below :

1. Convert one XLS file with multiple tabs to multiple CSV files.
-- As i was working on MAC , so it was quite easy through APPLESCRIPT to deal with this.But during this , i read lots of forum and learnt that UNIX shell scripting do not have any utility or solution for this.Is this really true?bcaz i everywhere found ppl recommending PERL or other stuff .

----------------------
Real Problem.
----------------------
2. Once Files are converted to CSV , we have to rename all CSV files with names as in different tab from XLS i.e first CSV should be named as the first tab in that XLS and so on .

Is there anyway in scripting to capture those tab names from XLS?

and if not , what alternative i should try to make this happen ?

I am eagerly looking forward for your replies.

Cheers!!!
