Hi;
File extension "xls" is a text;
Cepar between the lines with "\n" and between the column "\t".

in getting started they go over example code:
http://xlw.sourceforge.net/refman/gettingstarted.html

i have read the article "Getting Started ",but i still can't understanding what 's the article talking about,

"can't understand" is a very broad term.
If you show us what you have tried, what you have expected from that code, and what problem you encountered we might help you.
Though, this has nothing to do with Qt, and totally off topic.

Just my five cents: I don't think xlw will work without Excel being installed on the machine. I think it is intended to create custom functions for Excel not to operate on xls files.

as wysota said that ,is there any soilution for this ?

xls is a proprietary format and no software apart Excel itself will handle it properly in all situations.
