 Hello, and welcome to this video by films by Chris. I'm Chris. That's Chris of the K There's a link in the description to my website today we're going to be converting files from one format to another mainly like document files and There's a lot of different programs paying on what formats you're working with one of the Programs out there that just handles so many different formats is pandoc Should be in your repositories for most distributions of Linux here. I have a document file open in Libre office it's just a template that I template that I opened up and So here here it is. It's saved. I saved it as an odt file and as a doc x file So let's say we wanted to convert that to well a text file, right? So once you have pandoc installed, you know, you would pseudo apt install pandoc or whatever your package manager is and We're gonna say pan pan doc dash t and the type of file we want to output to so we want to make it a text file That's something I do a lot You have all these different formats PDFs document files and you just you want text so you can go through and grab stuff out of it We'll do that. We'll give it a file name in this case. It could be the doc x file or the odt file And we just do that and it's gonna give us the text right on the screen. So we just converted this To this obviously doesn't have the image area here but we have all the text and You know lined up. It doesn't have the formatting left and right But if we're trying to get the text out of this in a somewhat formatted format that we can search through well there you go and and If you want to save it to a file, we can just do dash o and give it a name file dot txt And now I can cat out file dot txt and again pandoc converts to a lot of different formats So actually here is a list for you a long list of file formats that convert convert to and from So any of these file formats you want to convert to text or from one to another These are formats. It supports quite a bit. I thank you for watching films by Chris calm That's Chris the K.
