Reading from Excel Files

[Ray Horsley]

Greetings,

I'm using "open file myPath for binary read" to read an Excel file  
and I'm getting lots of garbage characters since I believe it's  
Microsoft's proprietary binary format.  If I save the Excel file as a  
Text (Tab Delimited) file I can read from it fine.  The problem is I  
have about 500 of these file.  To manually convert all of them would  
be extremely time consuming.

Any suggestions on reading an Excel file and filtering out all the  
garbage characters?

Thanks,
