Hey monks,
I am reading document properties and analyse content of the document via a Perl module. I use "File::Find::finddepth" mothod to travers directories.

I use single word application to read all word documents. I tried it with several options, but came across problems each time. I have commented problem occured in each case. Best one was the first code line even it's not perfect.
#$word_app = Win32::OLE->new('Word.Application', 'Quit(wdDoNotSaveChan +ges)'); # Winword program doesn't terminate #$word_app = Win32::OLE->new('Word.Application', 'Quit'); # Pr +oblem: Ask for save changes for all documents #$word_app = Win32::OLE->new('Word.Application'); # 2 Winword +programs which doesn't terminate. $word_app = Win32::OLE->new('Word.Application', 'Quit(wdDoNotS +aveChanges)');
I open and close documents with following code line:
if ($obj = $word_app->Documents->open($file, 0, 1)) { $obj->Close('wdDoNotSaveChanges'); }
What is the thing go wrong here?
Thanks in advance.
