Hello! i wrote this function as alternative to using the Com Object or Commandline version of this project, discussed also earlyer on this forum. Project site - http://ebstudio.info/home/xdoc2txt.html Advantage of this implementation is that you do not need to register Com dll, using regsvr32. But you still need the project Dll (xd2txlib.dll). Enjoy! ; #FUNCTION# ==================================================================================================================== ; Name ..........: _ExtractText ; Description ...: Extracts text from advanced documment formats (Doc, Docx, ODT, XLS, ...) ; Syntax ........: _ExtractText($sFilename[, $bProperties = False[, $hDll = 0]]) ; Parameters ....: $sFilename - a string value. ; $bProperties - [optional] a boolean value. Default is False. If True, documment properties will be returned instead of the text. ; $hDll - [optional] a handle value. Default is 0. Optional handle to previously opened xd2txlib.dll.
