This thread is considering the part (1) of the thread How to split Excel table into CSV files in .doc by Bold text?
You have 777 .doc files where each .doc file contains a big Excel table.
The following working work process works correctly, which allows me to work with the data, since you can convert Spreadsheet data into CSV files and databases.
However, I want to automate this step to evaluate better the export process from .doc file into data file, and since there are too many files to do it for all those files.
I cannot bulk-study the contents of all those files so I am thinking a scripting approach to iterate through all .doc files, but not sure if any interface and/or scripting tool exists for such a task.
- Doing CTRL+A
- and copy-pasting the content into any spreadsheet editor (I used WPS editor)
Source files: .doc files containing some text and Excel tables
Target file: Excel file, and/or anything similar, etc WPS editor file, LibreOffice file, ...
- one Excel file can be sufficient for all .doc fies because each .doc file has a top line that can be used as a heading and separater in later categorising the content
OS: Linux Debian Stretch 9 and others
Data: example .odt file here
debian csv microsoft-word

@DopeGhoti Generally, I cannot do the iteration part: doing it for all at once OR looping one by one.
