read .docx files

[JTPenn]

Well, I want to read the text inside a .docx file…

file:read doesn’t work it just reads the file like you open it in notepad…

so I was wondering how to do it…

[Glitch_Games]

I’m not sure, but don’t docx files use XML? That might be worth looking into.

When you say it reads the file like you opened it in notepad, what exactly do you mean? 

[JTPenn]

Well, when you open a .docx file in notepad its just some random characters, but when you open it in Microsoft word, its the text that is saved in it…

try making a .docx file and notice the difference

I’m on a Mac so can’t make a file.

The reason that it’s some random characters is that a docx file isn’t just plain text, it’s stored in XML, possibly a zipped xml not sure, and then Microsoft Word reads in the file and correctly displays the text in it. All the formatting needs to be stored out as well, which is what the XML is used for.

If you want to read in a docx file you’ll have to parse that XML data.

This looks like a good starting point - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb266220(v=office.12).aspx

nah the type of text I receive is not XML, 

That’s how it looks, it looks like a compiled file

@JTPenn

Well, when you open a .docx file in notepad its just some random characters, but when you open it in Microsoft word, its the text that is saved in it…

try making a .docx file and notice the difference

@Glitch\_Games

I’m on a Mac so can’t make a file.

The reason that it’s some random characters is that a docx file isn’t just plain text, it’s stored in XML, possibly a zipped xml not sure, and then Microsoft Word reads in the file and correctly displays the text in it. All the formatting needs to be stored out as well, which is what the XML is used for.

If you want to read in a docx file you’ll have to parse that XML data.

This looks like a good starting point - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb266220(v=office.12).aspx

Nerox, Glitch Games is on the right path here.

A docx-file is a ZIP file but that contains several OpenXML files so you need to move away from docx-thinking and start thinking in terms of a ZIP file and then XML files.

This code extracts ‘my_file.docx’ from my ResoureDirectory to the DocumentsDirectory:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- -- main.lua -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- local zip = require( "plugin.zip" ) local function zipListener( event ) if ( event.isError ) then print( "Error!" ) else print( "event.name: " .. event.name ) print( "event.type: " .. event.type ) end end local zipOptions = { zipFile = "my\_file.docx", zipBaseDir = system.ResourceDirectory, dstBaseDir = system.DocumentsDirectory, listener = zipListener } zip.uncompress( zipOptions )

You also need to add the ZIP plugin to the build.settings: https://docs.coronalabs.com/plugin/zip/

This generates several files but the important one is word/document.xml which looks like this:

\<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?\> \<w:document xmlns:w="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main" xmlns:m="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/math" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:r="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships" xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:w10="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" xmlns:w14="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2010/wordml" xmlns:wne="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2006/wordml" xmlns:wp="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/wordprocessingDrawing" xmlns:wp14="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2010/wordprocessingDrawing" xmlns:wpc="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2010/wordprocessingCanvas" xmlns:wpg="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2010/wordprocessingGroup" xmlns:wpi="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2010/wordprocessingInk" xmlns:wps="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2010/wordprocessingShape" mc:Ignorable="w14 wp14"\> \<w:body\> \<w:p w:rsidR="000A0FFF" w:rsidRPr="00091711" w:rsidRDefault="00091711"\> \<w:pPr\> \<w:rPr\> \<w:lang w:val="sv-SE" /\> \</w:rPr\> \</w:pPr\> \<w:r\> \<w:rPr\> \<w:lang w:val="sv-SE" /\> \</w:rPr\> \<!-- THIS IS MY TEXT --\> \<w:t\>Test file!\</w:t\> \</w:r\> \<w:bookmarkStart w:id="0" w:name="\_GoBack" /\> \<w:bookmarkEnd w:id="0" /\> \</w:p\> \<w:sectPr w:rsidR="000A0FFF" w:rsidRPr="00091711"\> \<w:pgSz w:w="12240" w:h="15840" /\> \<w:pgMar w:top="1417" w:right="1701" w:bottom="1417" w:left="1701" w:header="708" w:footer="708" w:gutter="0" /\> \<w:cols w:space="708" /\> \<w:docGrid w:linePitch="360" /\> \</w:sectPr\> \</w:body\> \</w:document\>

After that you need to read the XML file correctly but I would just google “docx xml parser” or something like that and copy and convert some code from another language to LUA.

Here are some links:

http://www.groovypost.com/howto/howto/explore-the-contents-of-a-docx-file-in-windows-7/

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/116139/how-can-i-search-a-word-in-a-word-2007-docx-file

This will get you started and if you manage to make a docx importer it might be worth sharing it here.

Best regards,

Tomas

[Glitch_Games]

Yea, it’s compressed XML.

You’ll need to read about the format and then write a parser for it, as well as a way do uncompress it. I don’t know how to do this in Lua/Corona as I haven’t looked into the format before, but those are the two steps you need to look into.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/173246/parsing-and-generating-microsoft-office-2007-files-docx-xlsx-pptx

[Glitch_Games]

Or yes, do as Tomas above

[Glitch_Games]

I’m not sure, but don’t docx files use XML? That might be worth looking into.

When you say it reads the file like you opened it in notepad, what exactly do you mean? 

[JTPenn]

nah the type of text I receive is not XML, 

That’s how it looks, it looks like a compiled file

@JTPenn

Well, when you open a .docx file in notepad its just some random characters, but when you open it in Microsoft word, its the text that is saved in it…

try making a .docx file and notice the difference

@Glitch\_Games

I’m on a Mac so can’t make a file.

The reason that it’s some random characters is that a docx file isn’t just plain text, it’s stored in XML, possibly a zipped xml not sure, and then Microsoft Word reads in the file and correctly displays the text in it. All the formatting needs to be stored out as well, which is what the XML is used for.

If you want to read in a docx file you’ll have to parse that XML data.

This looks like a good starting point - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb266220(v=office.12).aspx

Nerox, Glitch Games is on the right path here.

A docx-file is a ZIP file but that contains several OpenXML files so you need to move away from docx-thinking and start thinking in terms of a ZIP file and then XML files.

This code extracts ‘my_file.docx’ from my ResoureDirectory to the DocumentsDirectory:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- -- main.lua -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- local zip = require( "plugin.zip" ) local function zipListener( event ) if ( event.isError ) then print( "Error!" ) else print( "event.name: " .. event.name ) print( "event.type: " .. event.type ) end end local zipOptions = { zipFile = "my\_file.docx", zipBaseDir = system.ResourceDirectory, dstBaseDir = system.DocumentsDirectory, listener = zipListener } zip.uncompress( zipOptions )

You also need to add the ZIP plugin to the build.settings: https://docs.coronalabs.com/plugin/zip/

This generates several files but the important one is word/document.xml which looks like this:

\<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?\> \<w:document xmlns:w="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main" xmlns:m="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/math" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:r="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships" xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:w10="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" xmlns:w14="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2010/wordml" xmlns:wne="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2006/wordml" xmlns:wp="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/wordprocessingDrawing" xmlns:wp14="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2010/wordprocessingDrawing" xmlns:wpc="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2010/wordprocessingCanvas" xmlns:wpg="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2010/wordprocessingGroup" xmlns:wpi="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2010/wordprocessingInk" xmlns:wps="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2010/wordprocessingShape" mc:Ignorable="w14 wp14"\> \<w:body\> \<w:p w:rsidR="000A0FFF" w:rsidRPr="00091711" w:rsidRDefault="00091711"\> \<w:pPr\> \<w:rPr\> \<w:lang w:val="sv-SE" /\> \</w:rPr\> \</w:pPr\> \<w:r\> \<w:rPr\> \<w:lang w:val="sv-SE" /\> \</w:rPr\> \<!-- THIS IS MY TEXT --\> \<w:t\>Test file!\</w:t\> \</w:r\> \<w:bookmarkStart w:id="0" w:name="\_GoBack" /\> \<w:bookmarkEnd w:id="0" /\> \</w:p\> \<w:sectPr w:rsidR="000A0FFF" w:rsidRPr="00091711"\> \<w:pgSz w:w="12240" w:h="15840" /\> \<w:pgMar w:top="1417" w:right="1701" w:bottom="1417" w:left="1701" w:header="708" w:footer="708" w:gutter="0" /\> \<w:cols w:space="708" /\> \<w:docGrid w:linePitch="360" /\> \</w:sectPr\> \</w:body\> \</w:document\>

After that you need to read the XML file correctly but I would just google “docx xml parser” or something like that and copy and convert some code from another language to LUA.

Here are some links:

This will get you started and if you manage to make a docx importer it might be worth sharing it here.

Yea, it’s compressed XML.

You’ll need to read about the format and then write a parser for it, as well as a way do uncompress it. I don’t know how to do this in Lua/Corona as I haven’t looked into the format before, but those are the two steps you need to look into.

Or yes, do as Tomas above
