Re^3: To Read and Edit docx files in Windows 7 by Laurent_R (Canon) on Dec 10, 2014 at 13:33 UTC
I've just created a short Word document called `December_12.docx` and copied it on a Unix platform. Then made a copy of it called `December_12.zip`. Then, unzipping it shows this: `$cp December_12.docx December_12.zip $unzip December_12.zip Archive: December_12.zip inflating: [Content_Types].xml inflating: _rels/.rels inflating: word/_rels/document.xml.rels inflating: word/document.xml inflating: word/theme/theme1.xml inflating: word/settings.xml inflating: word/webSettings.xml inflating: word/stylesWithEffects.xml inflating: docProps/core.xml inflating: word/styles.xml inflating: word/fontTable.xml inflating: docProps/app.xml` [download] Now you could in principle edit the `word/document.xml` document, except that the XML looks quite messy: Read more... (6 kB) The content of the Word document was only these two lines: `December 12, 2014. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

use XML::LibXML with tools like xpather.pl/htmltreexpather.pl which can give you paths to start with, and all the links here Re: Retrieve select information from HTML, they're examples(for tree-xpath and others)/walkthroughs/tutorials ...
