Extract text from Word DOCX files with shell commands when python-docx is unavailable. The workflow reads the document’s XML content, removes tags, optionally cleans whitespace, and saves plain text for inspection or further use.

Extract text from DOCX files using shell commands when python-docx is unavailable
설치하기 전에 에이전트에게 전달되는 지시 내용을 확인할 수 있습니다.
Use this pattern when you need to read or extract text from Microsoft Word (.docx) files in constrained environments where:
python-docx library is not availableDOCX files are ZIP archives containing XML files. The main document content is stored in word/document.xml. You can extract and parse this using standard shell tools.
unzip -p filename.docx word/document.xml
The -p flag pipes the content to stdout without extracting to disk.
unzip -p filename.docx word/document.xml | sed 's/<[^>]*>//g'
This removes all XML tags, leaving the text content.
For cleaner output, add additional sed processing:
unzip -p filename.docx word/document.xml | \
sed 's/<[^>]*>//g' | \
sed 's/&[^;]*;//g' | \
sed 's/^[[:space:]]*//' | \
sed 's/[[:space:]]*$//' | \
sed '/^$/d'
This removes:
&, <)unzip -p filename.docx word/document.xml | \
sed 's/<[^>]*>//g' > output.txt
# Extract text from a Word document
DOCX_FILE="report.docx"
OUTPUT_FILE="report_text.txt"
unzip -p "$DOCX_FILE" word/document.xml | \
sed 's/<[^>]*>//g' | \
sed 's/&[^;]*;//g' | \
sed '/^$/d' > "$OUTPUT_FILE"
echo "Extracted text saved to $OUTPUT_FILE"
After extraction, verify the content was captured:
# Check if output file has content
if [ -s "$OUTPUT_FILE" ]; then
echo "Successfully extracted $(wc -l < "$OUTPUT_FILE") lines"
head -5 "$OUTPUT_FILE"
else
echo "Warning: Output file is empty"
fi
If this approach fails or the DOCX structure differs:
word/document.xml existence: unzip -l filename.docx | grep document.xmlword/*.xml with different namingpandoc if available: pandoc filename.docx -t plain아직 리뷰가 없습니다. 사용해 본 소감을 남겨 주세요.

Prepare audio stems, the separate parts of a track, for mixing by matching their durations with silence, loops, or crossfades. Verify each generated and processed file before moving to the next production step.

Produce audio in separate stems, meaning individual instrument tracks, and verify each output as you go. Align track lengths with silence, loops, or crossfades, then apply effects, mix a master, and package the files.

Keep document creation moving when web searches and page retrieval repeatedly fail. The skill preserves the original task, uses the model’s existing knowledge, and clearly identifies information that could not be checked against external sources.

When Python execution repeatedly fails in execute_code_sandbox, use a file-based alternative: save the script, run it through the shell, and capture results or errors. The guidance covers paths, imports, timeouts, structured output, and optional cleanup.
