Re: MSWORD TO TEXT

Did a couple searches, came up with this...the consensus seems to be that there aren't any Word .doc parsers, and your only hope is to use Win32::OLE, which apparently dosen't suit your needs. OLE::Storage just might do the trick...check it out.

I could've sworn there was a command-line utility to do this conversion that would work, but I'm unable to find it right now...will search around some more.

Check out the wm library; a rather nifty suite of command-line Word conversion tools. --k.	[reply]

For this part, i just write a part of code to transform WORD to TEXTE by using OLE::win32. The limit of the system is to use on WINDOWS MACHINE. But it works correctly	[reply]

I could've sworn there was a command-line utility to do this conversion that would work, but I'm unable to find it right now...will search around some more. Here at work we got `word2x` installed which works on Word6 documents (according to the manpage) but since I got no word documents at all I can't test it. Maybe have a look at http://word2x.alcom.co.uk. The README points to http://www.kfa-juelich.de/isr/1/texconv.html "for a list of other converters". As one can guess from the URL (kfa-juelich) it is a TeX-site ... I could swear I once ran across a word-to-ascii-converter, but can't remember name or place, sorry.
