Hi Everyone,
I had previously asked a similar question,
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/2953d6d5d8836c4b/9dc901da63d8d059?lnk=gst&q=convert+doc+txt#9dc901da63d8d059
but at that point I was using Windows and now I am using Linux.
Basically, I have some .doc files that I need to convert into txt
files encoded in utf-8. However, win32com.client doesn't work in
Linux.
It's been giving me quite a headache all day. Any ideas would be
greatly appreciated.
Best,
Patrick
#Windows Code:
import glob,os,codecs,shutil,win32com.client
from win32com.client import Dispatch
input = '/home/pwaldo2/work/workbench/current_documents/*.doc'
input_dir = '/home/pwaldo2/work/workbench/current_documents/'
outpath = '/home/pwaldo2/work/workbench/current_documents/TXT/'
for doc in glob.glob1(input):
WordApp = Dispatch("Word.Application")
WordApp.Visible = 1
WordApp.Documents.Open(doc)
WordApp.ActiveDocument.SaveAs(doc,7)
WordApp.ActiveDocument.Close()
WordApp.Quit()
for doc in glob.glob(input):
txt_split = os.path.splitext(doc)
txt_doc = txt_split[0] + '.txt'
txt_doc_path = os.path.join(outpath,txt_doc)
doc_path = os.path.join(input_dir,doc)
shutil.copy(doc_path,txt_doc_path)
