Re: MSWORD TO TEXT

Hey!

I found this for ya:

LAOLA
is a collection of documentations and perl programs dealing with binary file formats of Windows program documents. LAOLA is giving access to the raw document streams of any program using "structured storage" technology to save its documents. ELSER is dealing especially with these streams as they are present in Word 6 and Word 7 documents.

You can find it here

GreetZ!,

ChOas
print "profeth still\n" if /bird|devil/;

Unfortunately it seems to require Perl 4, and only supports up to Word 7. There is a repository of file format details at www.wotsit.org and from there I once upon a time found my way to an in progress open source windows document converter. But I didn't stay long... ____________________ Jeremy I didn't believe in evil until I dated it.	[reply]

Hey! Completely right, but it also mentions its successor OLE::Storage (available at your local CPAN), which uses Perl5, and does more... GreetZ!, ChOas print "profeth still\n" if /bird\|devil/;	[reply]
