In simpler terms, I am looking to implement a functionality where the user of my application would upload a ODT document. My application has to read the ODT document and write the fields in to some database. I guess i need a gem which helps me to read the odt document here, writing it into database is not a problem. On the other hand, If there is no gem to read the ODT file, then i am looking for a gem which can help me convert the ODT file in to xml file. I am comfortable parsing the xml file and go further. Summary: What do i need to know? 1. Is there a gem which helps me to read ODT file? Similarly is there any gem available in linux (platform independent) to read MS doc file. I am expecting my user to upload his document files from any OS and my server to be running in any platform. I guess i am clear. 2. Is there any gem which can convert the ODT files in to xml file? Thank you once again for your kind help. Best Regards Anandh -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
