Reading .docx in C++
c++, docx, file-io, ms-word
Solution
The easiest way is to use Word to do this. It has limitations on licensing.
The SO question Creating, opening and printing a word file from C++ has some good references.
Edit:
According to these questions/answers can unzip the Open XML file and process the XML file directly:
- How can I read a Word 2007 .docx file?
If you use .NET there are more (C#) questions to read:
- How to grab text from word (docx) document in C#?
- How to load MS Word document in C# (.NET)?
- How can I programatically use C# to append multiple DOCX files together?
Problem
I'm trying to create a program that reads a .docx file and posts it content to a blog/forum for personal use. I finally have figured out how to use libcurl to do (what I figured) was the harder part of the program. Now I just have to read the .docx file, but have come under a snag. I can't seem to find any documentation on how to do this. Any ideas?
