XLS to CSV Converter
$30-5000 USD
Paid on delivery
I need a utility that will convert Excel .xls files into .csv files.
The conversion must create a csv file with field delimited by , and text(all cell content) delimited by "
When excel exports to csv cells with numbers are not delimited by " only cells with a comma, or with text receive the ".
IE the following cells in excel
John Doe 7/4/1970 240.5
would be exported by Excel as
"John Doe", 7/4/1970, 240.5
What I need would be
"John Doe", "7/4/1970", "240.5"
This tool must put " (double quotes) around the content of EVERY cell including numbers, dates, and text. The double quotes must not be dependent on the cell content.
Ideally the utility would be a stand alone application however it could be written within excel.
If written in excel, the app needs to open a dialog box to select a file. When a file is selected there needs to be a "convert" button to process the selected file and save it as a csv file.
The tool should not modify the original file!

## Platform
If the program is a stand alone, then it should run on Windows XP.
If the program is created as an excel file with scripting to accomplish the conversion task, then the file should be in Excel 2000 format, and it should work with Excel 2000, XP, or 2003
If the deliverable is a stand alone program, then the installer should install everything necessary to run the program.
If the deliverable is specified and delivered as an excel file, there should be no dependancies other than a default install of Excel 2000 or later (XP or 2003) installed on the machine. (Please make sure you don't depend on software on your development machine that is not installed as part of a standard default install of Excel!)
