An XLS file of what?

Of the recent posts. Authors, titles, dates and so on.

You can use this Python script I wrote. (Tested on Python 2.7.) It outputs to a CSV which can be imported into Excel, OpenOffice, etc. and put into a xls if you really want. Read the code comments to see where you have to paste in the recent post text and where you have to set the output filename.

Thank you. But I'd rather have the original file, from which the (sub)pages have been generated. The reverse engineering is the second best way.
