Convert .CSV to .XLSX using command line

Question

I\'m looking for a way to batch-convert a series of .csv files to .xlsx using the command line.

I have tried a bunch of different VBScripts

You may want to try an external tool like the one above. Why?

Advantages:

• may be used even where Windows Script Host is blocked.
• independent of operating system, so you may use a familiar tool with then same set of options on every OS (save brain memory :-) ).
• no installation of Excel or LibreOffice etc. needed, so you don't have to care about installing additional modules or languages.
• specifying several CSV parameters as command-line parameters makes the tool "SysAdmin-friendly", as they do not have to dig thru source code.
• you may even specify line or column ranges for the csv data.
• the xlsx file format is very complex, writing it without resorting to an installation of an office package is not for the faint of heart.
• better suited for batch processing as the tool can be integrated in the OS-specific loop logic.
• I tried to provide a useful set of command line flags with DevOps/SysAdmin in mind, many existing scripts lack good control via command-line options.
