similar to: indexing mostly-binary documents (.ppt)

Hi, I've had a heads up from a user that catppt did not work at all on semi-recent PowerPoint files (ppt, not pptx). I checked, and indeed it misses most of the content on many files. After looking around, I found Python code from the libreoffice project which makes a nice ppt text extractor after adding a very thin command line wrapper:

Hello CentOS people, I'm wondering if there are command tools like antiword and docx2txt for Microsoft PowerPoint files (.ppt and .pptx). The idea is to extract text from PowerPoint files. Sorry this isn't exactly about CentOS, but I'd really like it if Yum has something. I tried xlhtml, but it hasn't been updated in a while and isn't exactly wanting to work on CentOS

A colleague has a dozen of excel sheets and also expects to get updates regularly. He could open these in M$-Excel and export as *.csv manually, "bring back to Unix" and then read into R. Of course there must be options to start programming this in something like visual basic, but we wouldn't to really want to... We also know that probably Gnumeric could do the job (since the xls

Does anyone have experience with linux tools to parse the text from common non-text file formats for searching? I'm trying to use the kinosearch add-on for twiki which is fine as far as the search goes, but it takes forever to generate the index. It uses xpdf to extract strings from pdf's, antiword for .doc, and since it is perl, the Spreadsheet::ParseExcel module for .xls. Some

Hello, I am getting requests to place our PDF slides (output from beamer) into Microsoft Powerpoint formats (.ppt).

Hi guys, I've been noticing more and more that antiword has trouble with many word documents. It may look like it's converted a document but leaves out headings and bits of text. I've been looking into getting openoffice to do it in headless mode but still have a way to go before it's stable. I was wondering if anyone else had any luck on this front? One quick fix I have found

Hi all, I'm having a recurrent problem with Omega's indexing. When I run omindex, it sometimes misses to recognize the extension of some files (.doc, .pdf) and skips them. In the same run, omindex is otherwise perfectly able to index other files with same extensions. The reason is not clear but it should occur before it selects a content converter since for example, if I manually run

I am familiar with packages that read and write Excel files on both Windows and Linux platforms. Do any packages provide similar functionality for MS Word files?
