DOS commands

[Guest]

I need to get a list of all commands for EXCEL 2000 that can be used at the
command prompt from DOS. I'm basically trying to make Excel take in a XLS
format file and spit out a text file with tabs that can then be fed to a
program I'm creating. I already know how to change the format through the
GUI, but not through the command prompt. Any help will be appreciated

What you ask is not possible.
However there are other means to achieve your goal.
For instance, you could write some VBscript (that can run from the
commandline[0]) and manipulate the Excel objects with that. Look for
examples on the msdn website, try with keywords "vbscript" and "excel".
If that doesn't give you what you need, Google Is Your Friend(tm). If I
can find it, you can find it.


[0] DOS = Dead Operating System. DOS is obsolete and doesn't exist any
more. The command prompt in 2000/XP/2003 is *not* DOS!

If it has an "X" in the name, it must be Linux?
