msdoc - Greple module for access MS office docx/pptx/xlsx documents

Version 1.06

greple -Mmsdoc pattern example.docx

This module makes it possible to search string in Microsoft docx/pptx/xlsx file.

Microsoft document consists of multiple files archived in zip format. String information is stored in "word/document.xml", "ppt/slides/*.xml" or "xl/sharedStrings.xml". This module extracts these data and replaces the search target.

By default, text part from XML data is extracted. This process is done by very simple method and may include redundant information.

Strings are simply connected into paragraph for .docx and .pptx document. For .xlsx document, single space is inserted between them. Use --separator option to change this behavior.

After every paragraph, single newline is inserted for .pptx and .xlsx file, and double newlines for .docx file. Use --space option to change.

• --dump

  Simply print all converted data. Additional pattern can be specified, and they will be highlighted inside whole text.

    $ greple -Mmsdoc --dump -e foo -e bar buz.docx
  

• --space=n

  Specify number of newlines inserted after every paragraph. Any non-negative integer is allowed including zero.

• --separator=string

  Specify the separator string placed between each component strings.

• --indent

  Extract indented XML document, not a plain text.

• --indent-mark=string

  Set indentation string. Default is | .
