How to save (in fact Save As) .xls file into a text file from C#. I tried File.Copy() but I am unable to see data. I am getting some special characters in the text file.
Any help would be appreciated.

1You cannot magically convert data from one format to another. You need an Excel reader – SLaks Nov 30 '12 at 15:02

You will likely to need use a class that provides access to Excel worksheets and the data contained therein. I imagine some assembly like Microsoft.Office or something has such a class. – ScoPi Nov 30 '12 at 15:02

You should use the Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Workbook.SaveAs() method
