Hey Andreas,Please treat this question as a headless question from a headless
one.I'm on RHEL 5, so cannot used Windows-based solutions. LO being
multi-megabyte is not an issue as long as it works.I forgot: Did you play
with the command line options of
LibreOffice?Yes, I have been playing and reading and reading and playing
for the
last several hours. Have tried looking at the code of unoconv also
but not much luck so far. I admit I'm not a good code-reader and I'm
reading in a very rushed-mode also.I, for example, tried the following to
start the LO as listener:$ soffice.bin --headless
--accept='socket,host=0,port=8100,tcpNoDelay=1;urp;'[2] 13628$ netstat
-tnap | grep sofficetcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8100
0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 13628/soffice.bin So, clearly
soffice is listening now.To connect, I'm issuing the following but don't really
know if this
what is needed to be done. Which is why I posted the question in the
first place. Read this link also in the meantime
(http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/ProUNO/Opening_a_Connection)
, but I'm still missing something.$ soffice.bin --headless
--accept='socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100,tcpNoDelay=1;urp;'
--convert-to txt foo.doc; echo $?1$ ls foo.txtls: delme.txt: No such file
or directory$I need a tool that converts not just .doc files but all MS Office
files (.xls, .ppt, .docx, .xlsx, .pptx). I thought LO would be great
to use these since I'm already satisfied by how it loads up these
files in interactive/GUI mode.Would greatly appreciate if someone could
point out what exactly I'm
missing, my needle is stuck and not moving forward. :-(Regards,A headless
