    Dear Guys,

    I know by saving that file as .CSV format will covert the excel file into csv format. But is there any windows or unix utility which will convert the excel file into csv format? because i dont want to do it manually...

    Thanks for the reply...

    when i ran above command, it creates .csv file but it contains junk characters.

    Is there any other option?

    If you don't find a conversion program, you could (as a last resort) make an Access db with macros that Import the Excel file and send the data to Oracle by ODBC, this kind of thing can be run from a batch. I'm sure only Bill Gates thinks that this is the ideal solution
