The easiest way to convert an Excel file to a
delimited file would be to open the file in Excel and
save it as "Formatted Text (Tab Delimited)" or "CSV
(Comma Delimited)" file. If you need to make the
conversion on a *NIX box take a look at Gnumeric. It
does a very good job (in my experience) of reading
Excel files, and it can then save those files in a
variety of text-based formats.
Once the file is in some sort of text based format you
can use a wide variety of tools to further process it
(including sed).
I hope this is helpful,
