kandi X-RAY | docxtractr Summary
An R package for extracting tables & comments out of Word documents (docx). Development versions are available here and production versions are on CRAN. Microsoft Word docx files provide an XML structure that is fairly straightforward to navigate, especially when it applies to Word tables. The docxtractr package provides tools to determine table count, table structure and extract tables from Microsoft Word docx documents. Many tables in Word documents are in twisted formats where there may be labels or other oddities mixed in that make it difficult to work with the underlying data. docxtractr provides a function—assign_colnames—that makes it easy to identify a particular row in a scraped (or any, really) data.frame as the one containing column names and have it become the column names, removing it and (optionally) all of the rows before it (since that’s usually what needs to be done).

QUESTION
I have a large table within a Microsoft Word document.
The majority of rows, but not all, have a single Microsoft Word file attached.
My job is to go into each row and manually type in the file name where an attachment is provided.
Is there any way to automate this task using an R package? For example, for each row that has a file attachment, automatically pull the filename and record it in the field directly to its left?
This is what the table looks like. The files are in the most right column. The column to its left is where I am going to be typing the filenames.
I've tried importing the docx
file using the docxtractr
package, but it is not reading in the filenames properly. Instead, it is replacing them with \s
.

Answered 2020-Dec-27 at 13:33I wasn't able to figure this out using an R
package, but the kind people at the Microsoft Community Forum
helped out by providing a super useful Visual Basic Macro. What's great about this is it can accommodate cases where there is more than 1 attachment in a particular row.
