MSWord Document Parsers
Anyone know if there is a good CPAN module that I can use to convert an MSword document into a text file. Tried searching on CPAN, but it gave me 1000s of modules, and very few of them seemed to be related. -brian Brian Lasher Best Practices and Yield Enhancement Team Catalog DSP Product Engineering Texas Instruments 281-274-2913 (W) 281-684-4699 (C) 281-274-2279 (F) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
RE: black box
Thanks for all the help. Wasn't aware that the shebang made no difference in windoze. As for file associations, seems like we've got file extension namespace pollution. ".wpl" on my pc is associated with windoze media player. Set it up gor ".plw". -brian Brian Lasher Catalog DSP Product Engineering Best Practices and Yield Enhancement Team [EMAIL PROTECTED] 281-274-2913(W) 281-684-4699(C) 713-664-6240(H) 281-274-2279(F) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of $Bill Luebkert Sent: Wednesday, December 15, 2004 9:04 PM To: Ted Schuerzinger Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: black box Ted Schuerzinger wrote: > $Bill Luebkert graced perl with these words of wisdom: > > >>command prompt> wperl perlscript.pl >> >>The shebang line version you're trying to do would require a separate >>file assoc of wperl to say .plw or some such. > > > Isn't the command prompt part of the "black box" the original poster > didn't want to deal with? If you mean the Console window - yes. Of course the command prompt itself can vary on a per user basis. If the script name isn't preceded by perl or wperl, a file association would be needed to associate a .pl file with perl or a .wpl with wperl. In order for the shebang line to be used from the command line, you would need to be running a UNIX shell since none of the Windoze shells read the shebang line. -- ,-/- __ _ _ $Bill Luebkert Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (_/ / )// // DBE CollectiblesMailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] / ) /--< o // // Castle of Medieval Myth & Magic http://www.todbe.com/ -/-' /___/_<_http://dbecoll.tripod.com/ (My Perl/Lakers stuff) ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
problems installing Win32::GUI
All, Tried using the ppm to install Win32::GUI. The ppm just gave me the following error: Error: No valid repositories: Error: 500 Can't connect to ppm.ActiveState.com:80 Assuming it's because I'm behind a firewall with a proxy server, but couldn't figure out how to configure proxy server settings in ppm. Does anyone know how??? Then I tried installing the module using CPAN.pm. modified proxy server settings in CPAN/MyConfig.pm per instructions on CPAN, and typed "perl -MCPAN -e shell" at the command prompt. Typed "install Win32::GUI" at cpan prompt and it looked like it started working just fine. Downloaded all the files, etc. crapped out during compile. Got the following error: Runnining make test 'test' is not recognized as an internal or external command, Operable program or batch file. Test -- NOT OK Running make install Make test had returned bad status, won't install without force. Assumed this occurred because to my knowledge I don't have a c compiler on my machine. Downloaded and installed Microsoft visual c++ toolkit 2000. but still getting error. Is this Microsoft toolkit not what I want? does anyone know where I can get a free version of a compiler that will finish the module installation?? -brian Brian Lasher Catalog DSP Product Engineering Best Practices and Yield Enhancement Team [EMAIL PROTECTED] 281-274-2913(W) 281-684-4699(C) 713-664-6240(H) 281-274-2279(F) ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
