Thanks! I must have gotten the order wrong the first time.
I commented out the first part:
# regex/i/\.(do[ct]|wri|docx)$
# Open=/usr/lib/mc/ext.d/doc.sh open msdoc
# View=%view{ascii} /usr/lib/mc/ext.d/doc.sh view msdoc
Then I added
shell/i/.doc
View=%view{ascii} /usr/bin/catdoc %f
shell/i/.docx
View=%view{ascii} /usr/bin/docx2txt %f -
BEFORE
type/^Microsoft\ Word
Open=/usr/lib/mc/ext.d/doc.sh open msdoc
View=%view{ascii} /usr/lib/mc/ext.d/doc.sh view msdoc
and it works now. However, I can't *open* the files if I want to edit them with
LibreOffice. So I had to add the Open= lines back in:
shell/i/.doc
Open=/usr/lib/mc/ext.d/doc.sh open ooffice
View=%view{ascii} /usr/bin/catdoc %f
shell/i/.docx
Open=/usr/lib/mc/ext.d/doc.sh open ooffice
View=%view{ascii} /usr/bin/docx2txt %f -
Thanks!
Greg
