Hi,
What is the best way to get the text of a .doc (Word - Office 2003) document in a LS background scheduled agent?
(
When I save the .doc as .txt in Word, it gives me the perfect content in the the .txt file without any manual change needed.
So I’d like this made automatically via a LS background scheduled agent…
)
Thank you by advance for your help and/or advices…

Probably entails installing Word on the server or alternatively, some other software that can be scripted and can read Word formatted documents. For example:

The agent needs to perform the same steps as you do manually - open the document, set the ouput format to “plain text” and perform a save as (or some variation of those steps).

Hi Cesar,
Thank you for your answer.
As a workaround, I finally used a sax parser combined with a . doc saved as .xml (wordml)
It works now perfectly…
Thank you for your help and sorry for my late answer,
