+[odt2txt |
http://www.freewisdom.org/projects/python-markdown/odt2txt.php] is a utility for converting [OpenOffice.org] word processor documents to plaintext files. To convert a large number of documents, use the following command:
-I found odt2txt very useful for converting .odt (open document text files that openoffice creates) to .txt
-
-If you have a huge bunch of .odt files that you want converted try this command:
-
-''
find -name '*.odt' | while read
odt; do odt2txt.py "$odt" > "${odt%.odt}.txt"; done;'
'
-
-So now my flatmates can read all the cooking recipes without installing openoffice :)
