Hi,
I've found the 2 examples for converting xls and xlsx files to csv and have 
them working.  In case someone is searching like I was, here are their 
locations:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/poi/trunk/src/examples/src/org/apache/poi/hssf/eventusermodel/examples/XLS2CSVmra.java
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/poi/trunk/src/examples/src/org/apache/poi/xssf/eventusermodel/XLSX2CSV.java

I need to be able to convert both xls and xlsx files so I could easily create 
two methods and call them depending on the file extension.

However, my question is whether or not it would be possible using the 
WorkbookFactory and ExtractorFactory classes to handle both types rather than 
having the two code paths.

There is a lot of code in the above examples and being new to this API, I 
haven't waded through what Is essential and which classes to use such that both 
XLS and XLSX formats can be supported.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions -
J
