xleXTRACTOR is a simple command line utility that pulls cell data out of Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and sends it to standard output. From there it can be re-directed to another program, a file, wherever you want.
If you wish to specify a sheet by its ordinal number instead of its name, use the number. e.g. xletst1.xls -r1!g4:h9 If the name of the sheet is a number like 2009, use quotes to treat the number as a literal such as: xletst1.xls -r'2009'!g4:h9.
xleXTRACTOR uses object linking and embedding (OLE). To use the utility you must have a working copy
of excel installed where you run it from. The free xlviewer available from Microsoft will not suffice.
