CSV2XLS is a command line utility that enables the creation of xls files across platforms. It supports multiple sheets, formatting, and the choice of fonts. It requires python. There is also an R/S+ plugin available, which is called DATAFRAMES2XLS.
converts csv files into one (or more if splitted) xls file(s)
...But maybe for some people it is not possible or acceptable to install perl or python just for this small program. On Linux python and/or perl is often installed already. But on windows not. This csv2xls can be cross compiled for windows on Linux with mingw.
It depends on:
xlslib: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xlslib/
libcsv: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libcsv/
-= Limitations =-
- produces only Excel(TM) 97/2000/XP/2003
- no cell formatting, just plain text
