Hi Francesco,
The 'Excel" files that are generated by GSEA are in fact tab-separated
text files with an .xls file-extension.

Hm, this sounds more like you have encoding issues ( Unix/Mac/Windows
newlines or ASCII/ANSI/UTF8 encoding).
Try to inspect both files ecoding with a good text-editor (don't know
which OS you are on, but Jedit is available for all major systems)
or with the Unix-Command "file" (comes with Linux and MacOSX, Windows
version available at
gnuwin32.sourceforge.net).
You can also write your own file reader (e.g. using
cytoscape.data.readers.TextFileReader).
