AFAIK there is no port of Word to Linux. If you have it in
that doc format than it would be a fairly complicated thing to process
the binary file. If you don't have it in doc format why do you use
word?
That thing is possible. your biggest problem is what to
chose. You can make a macro for word. That would be best. And it
will work with the word doc format with no problem at all. If that is
a text file, than there are text utils, awk, a vim script, and
probably a lot more...
I don't understand very well why do you need bash to do it if
you use word, and not sure what you want to do. You want to expand a
range to all its integers. Is that all?
