VBScript conversion ideas?

[Tuanisviet]

Hey guys,

I have this 150+ line of code written in VBScript that reads, writes, and compares rows of data in .xls sheets. I now need to convert this code to a language that will work in Linux for .csv files. Any ideas? I need a language that's either easy to write or easy to convert from VBScript. Thanks.

How about Perl? Perl has a module called Text::CSV which is great for parsing .csv files.

Perl seems easy enough to learn.

Is there another language I not required to download or install something for it to run. For example, I need JDK stuff for Java, I need ActivePerl for Perl, I need PHP 5.2.5 for PHP, and etc. I just need speed, multi-platform or ease of conversion, and simplicity.
