Overview

About

Maintained by Bob RudisFirst published 2015-08-297 releasesCRAN page ↗GitLab ↗

'Microsoft Word' 'docx' files provide an 'XML' structure that is fairly straightforward to navigate, especially when it applies to 'Word' tables and comments. Tools are provided to determine table count/structure, comment count and also to extract/clean tables and comments from 'Microsoft Word' 'docx' documents. There is also nascent support for '.doc' and '.pptx' files.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash

  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-docxtractr

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-docxtractr

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
