Is there a way to count all the words in a powerpoint document?

I have hundreds of these shitty powerpoints to count.
I'd rather avoid having to count them manually.

VBA

Go the bruteforce way and parse the xml in the scripting language of your choice.

So what you're saying is there's really no simple way of doing this?

I either need external software or coding tools?

tried exporting the content into a program or format?

>>61138846
What kind of program or format?

>>61138865

doc=test_doc; libreoffice --impress --headless --convert-to pdf $doc.odp; pdftotext $doc.pdf - | wc

>>61138949
where do i put this?

>>61138985
in the terminal.
Windows have one now right?

>>61139083
I have no idea what that is.

Also, that code seems to say "libreoffice", but I have legit microsoft office.

>>61138985
In your shell session duh.

I'll break it down for you

doc=test_doc; 

This stores the name of the file, in my case, the name of the file is test_doc and I want to store it in the $doc variable.

libreoffice --impress --headless --convert-to pdf $doc.odp; 

Here I use libreoffice to convert the presentation to a pdf.
If you want to use microsoft office, you have to use the built in function.

pdftotext $doc.pdf - | wc

Here I take the resulting pdf and convert it to text, the "-" tells the program to simply print it rather than write it to a file.
The wc program (Word Count) counts the words.

You could also open the pdf file in a reader and export the text in another way and count the words in a text file.

You could also just look down in the corner and see how many words there is.

select all, copy to notepad, copy again from notepad to word. read the properties. done

>select all
Impossible right there.

It either only selects all the text in a certain box, on a certain slide, or everything except the boxes.

I think I found it.

I save the fucking things as PDFs, then convert them to word using some shitty third-party converter, and then make sure no text boxes are skipped in the count.

What a load of shit, but it beats counting in the PPT itself.

there should be a && between libreoffice and pdftotext senpai, you only want to run pdftotext after libreoffice succeeds right
