Hi, What's the best console tool (text-mode), to convert ms word files to plane text? catdoc, seems ok, works on most files, but looses a lot of formatting. antiword, seems quite good, but it doesn't work on every file... What are people using, any better suggestions? I have a script here ready to go, so all I have to do is set the prog variable... I get a lot of these files unfortunately, so any suggestions would be appreciated.
