+# XLStoCSV
+
+A simple and mostly useless tool for converting excel files (.xls and .xlsx) to
+raw CSV format.
+
+Basic usage:
+
+XLStoCSV.exe /path/to/files
+
+Use -h or --help (or just run with no arguments) to display a help menu
+
+Obviously, any editing software already has this capability built in, but sometimes
+(as in my current situation) you get a lot of data in Excel format and you don't
+want to convert each one manually. This here is a quick and dirty solution using Pandas.
+
+You can find executables for Windows and Linux in the "dist" folder
+
+If you want to compile from source, I recommend using pyinstaller.
+
+Use:
+
+pip3 install pyinstaller 
+
+and then compile using the spec file:
+
+pyinstaller -F XLStoCSV.spec
+
+(NOTE: YOU MUST USE PYTHON3. PYTHON 2 GIVES ISSUES WITH PANDAS WHEN COMPILED)
+
+There is no license for this code. Feel free to re-distribute as you wish. 
+
+You don't need to credit me, although it'd be appreciated :)
