File streaming problem
-
It is not that easy. A word document has a very specific format and you won't be able to read it like that. You need to go for Word automation (search this site or google or MSDN to learn how it works).

I checked the MSDN library online and I could find some Stream operations but they are not very clear to me.:confused: CFile cFile(TEXT("File.rtf"), CFile::modeRead); Can I use this class functions to perform operations successfully? Well it seems so...

I would opt for Word's COM interface, but if you really want to navigate the file yourself, the format of some of the older versions of Word can be found here.

Hi David, I'm not aware of COM :(( Please suggest something else... If this is the best then I'll have to get on with it.:~

I said that you have to look for 'Word automation'. Did you read my post :confused: ? I never spoke about Stream operation. What I suggested you is exactly the same as the other suggested: using a COM interface for Word (it's just another word for the same thing). You won't be able to read the file if you don't know how it is structured. And I don't think you know (neither do I)

Hi David, It would be a great help if you could give me a clear idea how to go about this. Probably names of those interfaces and some help on using them. Tips ... Thanks, Gajendra

See here, and then click the "Visual C++/MFC - Information and Sample Code" link. There's also MSDN articles like Q220911, Q261997, Q222101, Q196776, Q192348.

Hi David, All this is going to help me a lot. I will try to work out on these sample codes. I could not find the last article Q192348. Thanks much for the help. Regards, Gajendra

Q192348[^] You'll note that some of those articles are for Excel. That's not because I think Word is synonymous with Excel, I just wanted to give you other Automation examples.

Yes I could find articles on word, powerpoint, excel, outlook etc. Not a problem as I can use excel also for my project. We've made a program in VB that reads excel and gives the output we need. We're working to refine it. I think MFC would also be great at work. Thanks, Gajendra
