Did you look in meta.xml?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Do you see meta:word-count="4" in this example?

THEY CHANGED THE FORMAT OF AN ODT FILE!!! Oh, I'm sure it is still within the standard, but ...

The 2.0.4 files had a lot of meta-data in clear readable English, and it was easy to grab the "word-count=xxxx" field in a little shell script. The idea was to produce an "odtwc" script that did a "wc" (word count) for all the files in a directory, WITHOUT having to open each file by itself in Writer and copy the word counts by hand.

In 2.3 that data is hidden away somewhere and I can't find it. I asked on another list and someone suggested using something called "extract" but I can't find any such program. I think I need to "extract" meta.xml or metadata.xml or something similar. Anybody familiar with this stuff?
Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

If I have to do some programming that's OK. The key is to be able to type one simple command and get a list of all the odt files in the directory with word counts.
