    Be specific; what information are you trying to read exactly? – Tom Fenech Aug 02 '16 at 15:37
  • There is a board with file name in a column and his directory in other column. I try to have file name and his directory to check if they exist. – gaby Aug 03 '16 at 06:56
  • So you don't care about the contents; you just want to check if the files exist? What does your input look like? [Edit] your question to show us. – Tom Fenech Aug 03 '16 at 07:58
  • You can read Word files with [tag:python] like explained [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/125222/extracting-text-from-ms-word-files-in-python) – J. Chomel Aug 03 '16 at 08:43

There's "antiword". That gives a plain text output of a Word doc.
