Excel Macro Extrator

Windows Command Line application to extract .vba-files from .xlsm-files.

Usage:

$ ExcelMacroExtrator.exe file targetdir [--copy-xlsm]

# example
$ ExcelMacroExtrator.exe "C:\Dev\File.xslm" "C:\Dev\File-Source" --copy-xlsm

The --copy-xlsm-option copies the Excel-file to the targetpath as well.

Motivation

I develop a fair amount of Excel-VBA-Applications, and want to track the VBA-modules via git. The Excel-file itself is a binary-file, and therefore not really diff-able. With this tool I can extract the VBA-code to a targetdir and track that directory with git.
