(view help text of WPD2Txt.cs as plain text)
WPD2Txt.exe, Version 1.00
Return plain text content of a WordPerfect file without requiring WordPerfect
Usage: WPD2Txt.exe wpfile [ encoding ]
or: WPD2Txt.exe /E
Where: wpfile is the path of the WordPerfect file to be read
(no wildcards, only .wpd extension allowed)
encoding is the output encoding, e.g. UTF-8 to preserve
Unicode characters, or IBM437 to convert Unicode
doublequotes to ASCII
/E list all available encodings
Notes: This program is far from perfect, extracted text still contains
a lot of "garbage" and most accented characters will be lost; if
you have WordPerfect available, better use that to extract text.
If the specified encoding does not match any available encoding
name, the program will try again, ignoring dashes; if that does
not provide a match, the program will try matching the specified
encoding with the available encodings' codepages.
This program requires .NET 4.5.
Return code ("errorlevel") 1 in case of errors, 0 on success.
