[Tfug] Bulk OpenOffice Conversion

[Don Freeman]

Are the files all the same format?
I think this would be fairly trivial with Visual FoxPro. 
Can you send me a couple of sample files.

I need to convert a large number of ASCII data files (column format, space
delimited) to OO Calc format, and from there to Excel format (customer is
tied to MS products).  Far too many to use the GUI approach.  After some
fruitless googling, I thought I'd ask if anyone has used, or know of, shell
or python tools that can do this conversion from the command line.

TIA
Jim
