Hi ,
I am currently working on "Information retrieval from semi structured
Documents" in which there is a need to read data from Resumes.
Could anyone tell me is there any python API to read Word doc?
If you haven't already, get hold of the pywin32 extensions:
http://pywin32.sf.net
<code>
import win32com.client
doc = win32com.client.GetObject ("c:/temp/temp.doc")
text = doc.Range ().Text
</code>
Note that this will give you a unicode object with \r line-delimiters.
You could read para by para if that were more useful:
<code>
import win32com.client
doc = win32com.client.GetObject ("c:/temp/temp.doc")
lines = [p.Range () for p in doc.Paragraphs]
</code>

I saw this right after responding to Kushal's 5:37AM today posting.
Thank you for the tip. I'll try these first chance I get.
Word, swriter, whatever - I'm not partial when it comes to automating.
