body: <p>I am new to UNIX.</p>
  
  <p>could anyone please tell me how to open an EXCEL (.xls) file in windows from UNIX command line.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried changing the extension of EXCEL file to (.csv) in windows , and opened it using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>command used : vi filename.csv    
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but , it opens as a new file . 
  Is there an other command to get the spread sheet in EXCEL file. ??</p>
