    [EXCEL] Convert xls to txt (tab delimited)

    Hello, trying to find a way to make the code I found below (that converts an xls to csv) to convert an xls file to a tab delimited text file. I've searched everywhere and can not find.

    Please help!!!

    Code:
    if WScript.Arguments.Count < 2 Then
        WScript.Echo "Error! Please specify the source path and the destination. Usage: XlsToCsv SourcePath.xls Destination.csv"
        Wscript.Quit
    End If
    Dim oExcel
    Set oExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
    Dim oBook
    Set oBook = oExcel.Workbooks.Open(Wscript.Arguments.Item(0))
    oBook.SaveAs WScript.Arguments.Item(1), 6
    oBook.Close False
    oExcel.Quit
    WScript.Echo "Done"
