Help on email data file as excel from unix!!

Hi,

I need to email a data in excel sheet from unix using shell scripting.I could able to generate the data file with tab delimiter with extension .xls could able to email it.

The problem is when a coulmn with 16 digit number is exported, it is showing in scientific format. Any help in solving this issue is appreciated.

Thanks,

Format the cells as Number (not General), and set the decimal places to 0 if you want. Then export/save as text.
