please, tell me how can I read such format under unix. I just wanna to read only the text but no pictures if any (or may be other windows controls).
Namely, how can I read only the text from doc file. As a result I want to get only the list of words from this text (search engine require such a thing). So it doesnt matter the regularity of text.

examples'r prefferred.

thank u.

For example, if you want to extract a text only from the file file.doc:

wvWare -x /usr/local/share/wv/wvText.xml file.doc > somefile.txt

By default it produces output in html format.

P.S. To my opinion it looks a bit ugly, but I do not know about another software for proccesing and converting MS Word documents. May be somebody else knows...

I do not wanna to translate it in suuch way. I wanna to use it's API if any. So could u show me such an example?

tnk u

Sorry, but I used it only once to extract some info from a numerous of word documents - perl, awk, and C function 'popen' were enough for those purposes.  So use 'popen' for now and try to find another software or examine this source code for the future.

Best.

man -s1 strings

This "feature" out txt strings from any file (and binary too). Test it. Source codes for Linux or BSD are no problem.

Depends on task. In my case it was unacceptable.:-(
