xls2csv.exe can be run with command line.
The command line interface can be used from Batch files (files with *.BAT extens
ion).
Program can call with three parameters:
Required first: full path to xls
Optional second: to determine the character encoding [default value = utf-8]
Optional third: the number of columns in conversion,
starting counting from the first column [default all cells with data]
Example 1: Data.xls file contains three sheets: sheet1, sheet2, sheet3
"C:\small\xls2csv.exe" "C:\XLSfiles\data.xls"
as a result of conversion have the files encoded in utf-8:
C:\XLSfiles\data_sheet1.csv
C:\XLSfiles\data_sheet2.csv
C:\XLSfiles\data_sheet3.csv
Example 2:
"C:\small\xls2csv.exe" "C:\XLSfiles\data.xls" "cp1250"
as a result of conversion have the files encoded in cp1250:
C:\XLSfiles\data_sheet1.csv
C:\XLSfiles\data_sheet2.csv
C:\XLSfiles\data_sheet3.csv
Example 3:
"C:\small\xls2csv.exe" "C:\XLSfiles\data.xls" "utf-8" 5
as a result of conversion have the files encoded in utf-8 csv files have
only the first 5 columns
C:\XLSfiles\data_sheet1.csv
C:\XLSfiles\data_sheet2.csv
C:\XLSfiles\data_sheet3.csv
If the third parameter, then the number of columns will always be consistent wit
h the value of the parameter, even when the sheet is less.
This allows for loading CSV to other programs such as the OPENQUERY in MSSQL Ser
