# file2text read file and convert it's content to text, this modulde suport a lot of file types ## Docx file ## Excel file ## powerpoint file ``` python-pptx ``` ## text file ## Pdf file ## Epub file ## Mobi file ## CHM file 1. Install libchm (if not already installed): On Ubuntu/Debian: ``` sudo apt install libchm-bin libchm-dev ``` On macOS (with Homebrew): ``` brew install chmlib ``` 2. Install Python binding: Unfortunately, python-chm is not always available via PyPI. Instead, you might need to install it via your system package manager or from source. On Ubuntu/Debian: ``` sudo apt install python3-chm ``` If using macOS, you might need to build a wrapper manually (let me know if you need help with that). 📝 Notes: This extracts plain HTML text. You can clean it up using BeautifulSoup if needed. CHM files can contain a huge number of pages. Consider filtering by file path if needed. Would you like a version that returns cleaned text only (no HTML tags)?
