<p>This script is a raw utility that I use to merge "information" and "data" sheets from different Excel workbooks. The basic syntax is as follows:</p>
<c>
xlsmerge -s -o results-%Y%m%d.xls info.xls:Information query_results.xls:Sheet1
</c>
<p>The above command line will create <c>results-20091302.xls</c> containing a worksheet "Information" and one worksheet "Sheet1" from the respective Excel files. There is no renaming functionality and duplicate sheet names are fatal.</p>
