That is a good lead, thanks!
Looks like you can convert a doc to text with:
$ libreoffice --headless --convert-to "txt:Text (encoded):UTF8"
document.doc
or stream the text to stdout, minimally with:
$ libreoffice --cat document.doc
but this can give some "extraneous" warning messages. I'm trying out:
$ libreoffice --headless --safe-mode --cat document.doc
and:
$ libreoffice --headless
"-env:UserInstallation=file:///tmp/Baloo_Conversion_${USER}" --cat document.doc
It seems that this conversion ought work more generally but I get failures with
.xls or .ppt files, maybe watch:
