Alternatively if you already have a gnome desktop, abiword works most
of the time, but its user interface is modelled on that of Word(TM) (and is
therefore horrible to me).
If you just want the text of the document then unzip the file and
convert the document.xml to text.
Below is some (old) code which does this.
In PHP:
function importDOCX($file_info)
{
shell_exec('mkdir /tmp/docx');
shell_exec("cp " . DOC_ROOT . 'documents/' . str_replace(' ',
'_', $file_info['file_group']) . '/' . $file_info['sub_folder_path'] .
'/' . str_replace(')', '\)', str_replace('(', '\(', str_replace(' ', '\
', $file_info['filename']) .' /tmp/docx/')));
shell_exec('unzip /tmp/docx/' . str_replace(')', '\)',
str_replace('(', '\(', str_replace(' ', '\ ', $file_info['filename'])))
. ' -d /tmp/docx/');
$file = file_get_contents('/tmp/docx/word/document.xml');
shell_exec('rm -fR /tmp/docx');
$file = str_replace('<w:', "\n<w:", $file);
$file = strip_tags($file);
$file = str_replace('&', '&', $file);
$out = '';
$arr = explode("\n", $file);
foreach($arr as $line)
{
if(trim($line) != '')
{
$out .= $line . "\n";
$c = 1;
} else {
$c++;
if($c == 2)
$out .= "\n";
}
}
return $out;
}
Also you can use antiword from the command line:
function importDOC($file_info)
{
return shell_exec("/usr/bin/antiword " . DOC_ROOT . 'documents/'
. str_replace(' ', '_', $file_info['file_group']) . '/' .
$file_info['sub_folder_path'] . '/' . str_replace(')', '\)',
str_replace('(', '\(', str_replace(' ', '\ ', $file_info['filename']))));
}
These are both converts to text for searching purposes from some legacy
code. The do meet the criteria on minimum install.
Cheers
