Hi,
What's the best console tool (text-mode), to convert ms word files to
plane text?
catdoc, seems ok, works on most files, but looses a lot of formatting.
antiword, seems quite good, but it doesn't work on every file...
What are people using, any better suggestions?
Daniel,
Ooconvert is a command line utility, converts between
all 183 formats (!) that openoffice recognizes.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=168329
Requires an openoffice installation.
I have not tested it myself.
Joel
I have a script here ready to go, so all I have to do is set the prog
variable... I get a lot of these files unfortunately, so any suggestions
would be appreciated.
