Pulling specific data from a Word document with Powershell

N2IT

Anybody know of a script that can do this?

I'll keep Googling -

Thanks gang

Possibly the long way of doing it, but you should be able to create a new-object -comobject "word.application" to open and read the file, **** the contents into an array, then filter it. Although parsing that could be a major pain, depending on what you're looking for. Any way to migrate the docs to csv for easier handling?

I haven't used powershell within word, but years ago I used VBA to perform these type of functions.

Yeah I am going to **** to CSV. I ran SYDI and the reports are about 22 pages each and I have several thousands. I would perfer not to use the eye method.

Thanks for the great recommendations.

CSV will definitely be easiest. Import-CSV for the win.
