Dear monks:
I was looking around and found a good script that can
convert a csv to a xls file, this is
something I need to do for one of my projects
so I downloaded the source code and just paste it
and it work fine
so my first question:
can I use the code as it is? or need to talk to the author to see if is ok with him?
Second question :
If it is ok to run it and change it a bit, how can I make this script work with more than one file? for example I have a list of file that need to convert from csv to xls, and going one by one is not acceptable, can someone help me in these issue?
and last one
if I can not modify the script but I can use it is there a way I can run a that script from another script?
thanks for your help
