I'm using a python script in order to convert a file.doc into a file. txt. My code is:
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
from docx import opendocx, getdocumenttext
#http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5725278/python-help-using-pdfminer-as-a-library
from pdfminer.pdfinterp import PDFResourceManager, PDFPageInterpreter
from pdfminer.converter import TextConverter
from pdfminer.layout import LAParams
from pdfminer.pdfpage import PDFPage
from cStringIO import StringIO
import os
def document_to_text(filename, file_path):
if filename[-4:] == ".doc":
cmd = ['antiword', file_path]
p = Popen(cmd, stdout=PIPE)
stdout, stderr = p.communicate()
return stdout.decode('ascii', 'ignore')
elif filename[-5:] == ".docx":
document = opendocx(file_path)
paratextlist = getdocumenttext(document)
newparatextlist = []
for paratext in paratextlist:
newparatextlist.append(paratext.encode("utf-8"))
return '\n\n'.join(newparatextlist)
In order to use the script above i need to install 'antiword' but the problem is that i don't know how to do it. Here is the link where do download 'antiword':http://www-stud.rbi.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de/~markus/antiword/
Can somebody help me?
