Summary:	wvText (wv 0.7.1) do not work/correction
Product:	Gentoo Linux	Reporter:	Horacio Hiroiti Sawame <horacio>

Description Horacio Hiroiti Sawame 2003-04-17 09:37:32 UTC

/usr/bin/wvText should create a plain text file from a MS-Word document file,
but it did not because that script is outdated. It uses another script called
wvHtml which in this version needs the parameter "--targetdir" to specify a
working directory different from "." .

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.wvText word.doc word.txt
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The program outputs the message "Could not convert into HTML" .

Expected Results:  
It should create a plain text version "word.txt" of the MS-Word document "word.doc"

My suggestion is to change the line 32 in the script "/usr/bin/wvText" from
<TMP_FILE="/tmp/wv$$.html"> to < TMP_FILE="wv$$.html">

which version of wv is this ? i just tested it with the latest ~ in portage and it worked fine for me.

If it only happens in older versions, i just bump the latest to stable.

Upgrading from wv-0.7.1 (x86) to wv-0.7.5 (~x86) correct this bug.

0.7.5 is marked stable, that should get around this.
