How to combine multiple CSV files to one ods file on the command line. One sheet per original file

How to combine multiple CSV files to one ods file, one sheet per file. I have ten CSV files and I would like to combine them to one ods file comprised of ten sheets, one per original CSV. This should be done on the command line.

With perl:

#!/usr/bin/env perl use strict; use warnings; use autodie; # CPAN modules required: use Spreadsheet::Write; use Text::CSV; my $xlsx_file = shift @ARGV; $xlsx_file .= ".xlsx" unless $xlsx_file =~ /\.xlsx$/; my $xlsx = Spreadsheet::Write->new(file => $xlsx_file); my $csv = Text::CSV->new({binary => 1}); for my $csv_file (@ARGV) { my @rows = (); open my $fh, "<:encoding(utf8)", $csv_file; while (my $row = $csv->getline($fh)) { push @rows, $row; } $csv->eof or $csv->error_diag(); close $fh; (my $sheet_name = $csv_file) =~ s/\.[^.]+$//; # strip extension $xlsx->addsheet($sheet_name); $xlsx->addrows(@rows); } $xlsx->close(); 

And use it like:

/path/to/create_xlsx.pl file.xlsx *.csv 

If perl is not your thing, a bit of googling reveals:

• python:
• ruby:
