Returning doc,docx files's proprieties like number of pages about officegen HOT 5 CLOSED

officegen is primarily a document generation library. It sounds like you want to read existing docx files and extract their properties. On Node.js, you can loop through filenames in a directory, read the files, and count the page breaks:

var JSZip = require('jszip');
var fs = require('fs');
var cheerio = require('cheerio');

fs.readdir(DIRECTORY, function (err, files) {
  files.filter(function (file) {return file.substr(-5).toLowerCase() == ".docx";}).forEach(function (file) {
        fs.readFile(DIRECTORY + file, function (err, content) {
          var zip = new JSZip();
          zip.load(content);
          var xml = zip.file('word/document.xml').asText();
          var $xml = cheerio.load(xml, {xmlMode: true})
          var breaks = $xml('w\\:br[w\\:type="page"]');
          console.log([file, breaks.length])
        });
      })
});

Thanks it helped me a lot with my research. I tried doing it with .doc files but it doesn't seem to work. I don't want to sound stupid or anything but can you make an example for doc too please. Thank you so much for the support 👍

Hm, the binary format is tougher. May be a better topic for StackOverflow,
e.g.
