       runxlrd  offers  a commandline interface to the Python xlrd module; it extracts data from Microsoft Excel
       spreadsheet files. For a complete list of options and commands, run runxlrd with --help arguments.

       To show the first, second and last rows of each sheet in each file, run
              $runxlrd3rows*blah*.xls
       Run
              $runxlrd-ekoi8_r3rowsmyfile.xls
       to explicitly pass the needed codepage to xlrd, e.g. if the codepage record is missing, or if  it  exists
