Export Scheduled Report in excel

I need to have a schedule report exported to excel and put it into a schedule and  send it to specific e-mails.
I have already the report created.

I have used the following code:

global class Exporter implements System.Schedulable {
    global void execute(SchedulableContext sc) {
        ApexPages.PageReference report = new ApexPages.PageReference('/00O58000003m3Sa?csv=1');
        Messaging.EmailFileAttachment attachment = new Messaging.EmailFileAttachment();
        attachment.setFileName('report.xls');
        attachment.setBody(report.getContent());
        attachment.setContentType('text/csv');
        Messaging.SingleEmailMessage message = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
        message.setFileAttachments(new Messaging.EmailFileAttachment[] { attachment } );
        message.setSubject('Report');
        message.setPlainTextBody('The report is attached.');
        message.setToAddresses( new String[] { 'mplampla.com' } );
        Messaging.sendEmail( new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] { message } );
        
    }
 }

although I don't see how i give this a schedule.
I guess that this reads the schedule that exists in the report and so the report is sent thourgh this code as an attachment in an email?
Can I also store the executable attachment directly to a path?

Exporter obj = new Exporter ();

String sch = ‘0 0 1 * * ?’;

String jobIDNew = system.schedule(‘Report run scheduled’, sch, obj);

Run this code in anonymous window in developer console. This will schedule your class to run everyday. Thanks.

@Akis and @Ravi-thanks both for your help.  @Akis-are you receiving attached files in csv format?  I received them as .csv.html, click on the html attachment, and am then able to click again to open in xls as a csv file.  When I forwarded the message to a co-worker, it tried to open in Visual Studio and then crashed his computer.  Any idea how to resolve?

You can run a scheduled export of CSV files to your PC or Storage (FTP) on a specific time (day, hour, minute) with the help of Skyvia (https://skyvia.com/data-integration/salesforce-data-loader).
