Attempting to read each line of an office document (.doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx) - Similarly to a FileReadLine()

Recommended Posts

I'm attempting to read each line of a word document and assign the line to a variable. Similarly to how you can read a line from a text file (.txt or .csv) using FileReadLine(). So far i have been unsuccessful in reading from a .doc/.docx file, nor have i found any documentation that has helped.

In searching for a solution i did find a function to convert the word doc to a text file, however my script is for (PCI) auditing purposes and i do not want to create a new file on the HDD.  I have also read through the _Word UDF help files... Unless im not understanding the _Word UDF correctly, I did not see anything that functions similarly to the FileReadLine function.

Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!  

 

Here is what i have been attempting to do(doesn't work): 
 

#include <file.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include <LuhnCheck.au3>
#include <Excel.au3>
#include <Word.au3>

Global $sPath = 'C:\Users\'
Global $filePath
Global $pii = @ScriptDir & '\pii_CreditCard.csv'

Global $filesArray = _FileListToArrayRec($sPath , '*.txt;*.csv;*.doc;*.docx;*.xls;*.xlsx',1,1,0,2)

For $i = 1 to $filesArray[0]  ;Loop through file extensions and add files to the fileArray
    ;Assign the position in the filesArray to filePath (filePath is set to full path in FileListToArrayRec)
    $filePath = $filesArray[$i]
    readFile($filePath)
Next

Func readFile($file)
    If StringInStr($file, '.txt') Or StringInStr($file, '.csv') Then ; .txt file
        readTxtFile($file)
    ElseIf StringInStr($file, '.doc') Then ; .doc & .docx files
        ;============================================== part that does not work=========================
        Local $oWord = _Word_Create()
        ;$openFile = FileOpen($file, 0);
            While 1
                Local $line = FileReadLine(_Word_DocOpen($oWord, $file, Default, Default, True))
                If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
                ;lookForCreditCardNumbers($line)
                MsgBox(0,0, $line)
            WEnd
    FileClose($openFile)
        ;============================================== part that does not work==========================
    EndIf
EndFunc

Func readTxtFile($fileToOpen)
    $openFile = FileOpen($fileToOpen, 0); open file for reading and assing it to the openFile variable
    While 1
        Local $line = FileReadLine($openFile)
        If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
        lookForCreditCardNumbers($line)
    WEnd
    FileClose($openFile)
EndFunc

Func lookForCreditCardNumbers($evaluateString)

    $aResult = StringRegExp($evaluateString, '[4|5|3|6][0-9]{15}|[4|5|3|6][0-9]{3}[-| ][0-9]{4}[-| ][0-9]{4}[-| ][0-9]{4}', $STR_REGEXPARRAYMATCH)
    If Not @error Then
        Local $newString1 = StringReplace($aResult[0], ' ', '') ;remove spaces
        Local $newString2 = StringReplace($newString1, '-', '') ;remove dashes

        Local $bool = _LuhnValidate($newString2) ; Check possible CC number against the Luhn algorithm

        If $bool = 'True' Then
            Local $piiCSV = FileOpen($pii, 1) ;open text file for appending/writing, 1
                                FileWriteLine($piiCSV, $filePath & ', ' & $newString2)
                            FileClose($piiCSV)
        EndIf
    EndIf

EndFunc

About how many lines do talk? Is it just simple text or does the document contain tables, heading lines ...?

The number of lines in the word document will be unknown since it needs to read multiple word documents. I should only need to read simple text for now. 


My goal with this project is to make something that falls in between the Powershell scripts (another PS pii script) to do this type of pii auditing and openDLP. Powershell tends to get messy with the reporting (at least in my testing), and it has to be installed on the PC you are running the script on. OpenDLP is on the other end of the spectrum as it requires being installed on a LAMP server and uses agents or scans over the network, and it's a bit excessive for the audits i need to run. So I choose to create AutoIT scripts to run my audits. I thought i was doing rather well until i ran into MS Office docs. lol.

The following script reads the whole Word document and splits it line by line into an array:

#include <Word.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Global $sPath = "C:\temp\test.docx"
Global $oWord = _Word_Create()
Global $oDoc = _Word_DocOpen($oWord, $sPath)
Global $oRange = $oDoc.Range
Global $sText = $oRange.Text
Global $aLines = StringSplit($sText, @CR)
_ArrayDisplay($aLines)

Thank you very much water!! This works perfectly!

Water, might I be able to get your assistance once again? This time with Excel. I attempted to modify your code to work similarly to word, however i keep getting an object error on the $oWorkbook.Range portion. Also for future reference, where are you finding the documentation for the $object.Range (etc.) portion of the above code? 

 

;Read text from an excel document
        Local $sPath = $file
        Local $oExcel = _Excel_Open(False) ; create application object
        Local $oWorkbook = _Excel_BookOpen($oExcel, $sPath)
        Local $oRange = $oWorkbook.Range
        Local $sText = $oRange.Text
        Local $aLines = StringSplit($sText, @CR)
        Local $aResult = _ArrayDisplay($aLines)
        _Excel_Close($oExcel) ;close excel so it does not lock the file in read only mode

To retrieve the value of all used cells in Excel simply use:

Local $aRange = _Excel_RangeRead($oWorkbook)

  • 2 weeks later...

I'm currently experiencing some odd behavior from the Word and Excel UDFs when executing my script on a remote computer. If i move my script (via SMB) to a remote PC and execute it (via PSEXEC), the script will not read any word or excel documents. (It will read all the text based files without issue when executed remotely.) If I RDP to that same computer and double click the script to run it, the script will read the word and excel documents without issue. I have attempted to execute my script by calling batch files, VBScripts, and even scheduling a task on the remote PC without correcting this issue. So far I've yet to find a reason to why the script works fine when executed from the GUI by clicking it (via RDP, or locally on a PC) but fails to read word/excel documents when executed on a remote PC via PSEXEC. 

I can also execute the script via the command line locally on any PC, and it will read word/Excel documents without issue. So i do not believe PSEXEC has any influence on how the script performs vs the local command line or even the windows GUI (explorer). Please correct me if I'm wrong in this assumption. 

Any insight into this issue is greatly appreciated!    

 

Here is my code. The readFile() contains the Word and Excel functions im experiencing issues with:

My assumptions about PSEXEC were wrong and I've corrected the issue. I've discovered if i run the script via PSEXEC using the -i -d switches (which allow interaction with the desktop) that the word and excel functions work without issue. If anyone is able to shed some light on why the word and excel functions require interaction with the desktop i would appreciate it. Just for a better understanding of how/why this works. 

 

This brings me to my next question. Is it possible to continue past the errors (which hang my script) that Office throws when a document/workbook is in read only mode? Or when Office throws an error stating "the last time the document was opened it caused and error. Would you like to continue."?  

Example of one of the errors I'm referring to: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/286017

We had a third party closed source system which used Word to print letters, and we had to handle the above sorts of messages which stopped the process.  You may have more control over things since you yourself are starting the Word process up, but I ended up writing a set of rules to handle these errors.  Have a look here first I think

Otherwise you might need to create a sort of rules engine for these notifications.  Happy to post mine up but you may have more control with the Word options object

_Word_DocOpen sets @error = 4 when AutoIt could not obtain a read/write access.
