Hi there,
I want to read my Office Files (DOC,XLS and PPT) files using ole32.dll
and C++ or C++.NEt.
I have googled a bit and found that i can read the contents of DOC
file by using Stogare and Stream, or let me say ole32.dll.
But i dont know how to read other things like embedded attachments.
Actually i want to dump all the embedded attachments of DOC file to my
hard drive for further processing.
So can any one please help me get the info i need.
I am unable to find any tutorial or references to ole32.dll and how to
use it to extract embedded attachments from DOC file.
Please help me, i would be very much grateful.
Thank you

What you need is to post to the right newsgroup. Please look for any
newsgroup with .ole. in its name, preferably also with 'microsoft' in
it. Your problem has really nothing to do with the C++ *language* and
everything to do with the way Microsoft organizes its document files.

Well, clc++ is ok.
Just start with:
#include <fstream>
ifstream officeFile;
officeFile.open ("test.doc",ifs tream::in);
while(officeFil e.good()){
doSomethingWith NextMSWordByte( officeFile.get( ));
}
officeFile.clos e();
Then we could discuss how we could represent with C++ classes a
structured document, etc..

I believe the OP was trying to reuse what MS has already implemented for
reading their own files. Most likely there are APIs for accessing parts
of the MS Office-specific formats. (not to doubt that it's all possible
to do in plain C++ if the format layout is known and available)

So how do i start..?
If any one can provide me the structure definition of DOC file (office
file).
I am able to get content of DOC file using IStream and IStorage
objects of ole32.dll.
But when parsing there are different object types and i dont know
their offsets.
So can anyone guide me on this?
You help is greatly appreciated.
Thank You

You start by finding *a better venue* for this line of questions.
If any one can provide me the structure definition of DOC file (office

MS Office has no relation to C++ *language*. Any third-party technology
discussion is basically off-topic here. Even if somebody knows the
structure of a DOC (or any other MS Office-specific) file, proceeding
with providing it here would go against the rules of this newsgroup.

OK, I'll repeat myself. Yes, somebody in the newsgroup relevant to
programming MS Office applications should be able to. Take a close look
at the 'microsoft.publ ic.*' hierarchy.

What if you need a recipe for a peach cobbler and the place where you
think you should be able to find it, is deserted (pun intended)? Do you
come to the electricians' newsgroup to see if anyone who has some
experience installing electrical ovens can help you?
Here is a story for you:
One cloudy night there was this man, standing on all four, feeling the
pavement with his hands, apparently looking for something on the ground
under a bright street light. Another man stops and asks, have you lost
something? Oh... My car key, I just dropped it, says the first man. So
the other man joins in and also starts looking around, trying to locate
the key. After a couple of minutes the second man asks the first one,
where exactly were you standing when you dropped the key? Over there,
says the first man and waves his arm towards the gates at the dark end
of the street about a hundred feet away. Then why are you looking here,
for crying out loud? Well, *here* I can actually *see*!

ok..
here is the things
1. Before i knew this wasnt the group for my question, i already had
posted my question and after that i posted on few more as well.
So where does those electrical oven fit here.
2. and about the light thing.
Since we can use ole32.dll through C++ this makes totally sensible for
me to hope if someone has done this before and if they have used it
then its not related to Office files any more but related to compound
files.
What do u think ?

Miztaken Mon Ami dont bark at Moderators, they bite back. ;) (No
offence Victor)
You can debate on the relevance of your post as much as you want.
But it wont help you, as Victor said this is C++ *language* group.
(half of the people here dont even know what is office :) )
Feel free to post Qs about the standard, Design issues, UB & etc...
even though it seems it's a "narrow region of intrest" the group's
hands are always full.
try:
comp . os . ms-windows . programmer . win32 http://groups.google.com/group/comp....2/topics?hl=en
search codeproject.com or even msdn (my favourite for this kind of Qs
is vintage 10/01 and not the recents)
or try e-mailing that nice Stefan Ram.
in conclusion: if you keep with this post you will get a inadequate
answers and a lot of ranting. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |
