I don't know about shell scripts but if you have Perl on the system you can have very simple interface to both read and write Excel files.

Re: convert Microsoft Excel xls To CSV
Load into Open Office. Save as CSV. You may have to split the xls file into separate sheets to make this work. Cheers. yahav Biran wrote: It's nightmare to process an xls file.

There is the xlhtml package (sources at: http://chicago.sourceforge.net/xlhtml/ RPM package at Fedora extras). I use it for several years now. I have written a very simple wrapper script. It works quite well.
