I'm playing around with xls2csv (part of the catdoc application).
Something simple like: xls2csv -c~ products.xls > products.txt
does what I'd expect (exports the XLS, using "~" as the field separator).
Any suggestions how I can make this create a tab separated file instead?
I think this is more about how to pass the TAB through the shell (ie more to do with bash than xls2csv) but I could be wrong.
In some other tools I've used "\t" (sans quotes) to indicate a tab.
Dunno if that works in xls2csv though.
