Finally i managed to solve the problem of getting all rows in one line by inserting this :

echo  &gt;&gt; "$csv"

in line 524 in the script.
also commenting line 522 in the script

        sed -e 's/"/""/g' -e 's/^/"/' -e 's/$/"/' |  #escape embedded quotes

solves the problem of getting all Data double quoted it doesn’t actually allow escaping embedded quotes as the comment says but instead it quotes all data without nothing is wrong with the embedded double quotes.

there is no rows in the output it’s all in one row i tied to check which newline that separates rows doesn’t work but it was all so complicate any idea why i get all the data in one live without any rows. i ran script in linux.

I can upload the sheet if you like. How can I call xlsx2csv.sh from php script? I need convert xlsv to csv from a web page. (sorry, my english is bad) . Than you!!!

Very nice, at least it would be very nice if I could get it to work. I get
>>
./xlsx2csv.sh: line 41: syntax error near unexpected token `do’
>>
When running on Ubuntu 9.10 32bit.

I don’t know enough about bash scripts to sort it out myself. Does it work for you?
