    Hello,

    Reading text from an *.xls file produces some “Non Readable” characters.

    Do you have small section of working code to read data from xls format?

    we are doing it this way,

    1. create a third party program that will read the xls file for you

    --> that program should save it to a txt file

    2. read using infile the txt file created

    --> use axlRunBatchDBProgram to run the program, then next to it the function that will read the txt file
