I also found this, it's working for me in Slacko 6.3:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/docx2txt/files/docx2txt/v1.4/
You just type ./docx2txt.sh yourfile.docx and it converts docx to txt.
No more programs needed to read docx. Now I can read these "saved in unfortunate cryptic format" files in leafpad.

I use the perl script and pipe it into leafpad
Code: Select all
./docx2txt.pl yourfile.docx | leafpad
OK, didn't notice that you opened a different topic. Do you use that in Bulldog finder?don570 wrote:Nothing. But I thought that Zigbert should know that piping text into
leafpad is possible. For instance the list of files and their paths could be
piped into leafpad. I find that list valuable sometimes.
I mean accented characters like German and French.What is a foreign character?
When I was using barry K quirky arm distro
Code: Select all
./docx2txt.pl yourfile.docx | leafpad
then opened with geany
Code: Select all
./docx2txt.pl yourfile.docx > temp.txt
geany temp.txt
There's no problem in Intel 386 machines.

Funny. Did you try leafpad's --codeset option?don570 wrote: When I was using barry K quirky arm distro
didn't pipe the accented characters so I made a temporary file insteadCode: Select all

I don't think I had this problem in fatdogarm.Code: Select all
./docx2txt.pl yourfile.docx > temp.txt geany temp.txt

Hello Zigbert
I am using tahr-6.0.5 with pFind-6.1 OOTB.
When pFind is invoked via Menu>Filesystem, the searchbox is populated with "Search text", and changes to blank as the cursor gets there. The purpose I presume is to inform the user to enter the target text in the window. I think a combination of a static "Enter Search text" label below an empty window and code change will achieve the same objective but without the undesirable results described below.
For purposes of "copy/paste" text, I usually highlight the text and use the middle button of the mouse to paste. It is faster and uses fewer mouse clicks than right-click+Copy/Paste [Ctl-C/Ctl-V] which I use less often. If I hightlight a search target somewhere and invoke pFind, the highlighted text buffer is clobbered and replaced with "Search text" and the middle mouse button doesn't work. Would you please consider modifying the code to at least avoid the clobbering? You could retain the hiding "Search text" in the window and modify the code to avoid the clobbering or replace the hiding "Search text" with a static "Enter Search text" label as suggested above and code to not clobber the buffer. Your choice of course.
TIA

I had an idea you'd found a way to display it there but make it disappear when you click there... am I imagining it?
Do you know a good gtkdialog program? Please post a link here

I made a right click utility (pfind plus) for the distros that don't have a right click available to search in folder.

Use pFind more !
I am surprised that people don't use pFind more, so efficient..
Files used in july 2017 (choose extension, personal or system, and date range)
atime = access time
ctime = change time
Users complain that not working with personal files ? here

It just works, so not much to talk about.
Well, it does everything I want a file search program to do!
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Bigpup, i agrrreee. No need to create scripts to do what Pfind does. Never mind..
What would be nice is to sort results by date, or other criteria. I fail with that.
