How do I Convert a Folder full of RTF (Rich Text) documents to Microsoft Word Document?
-
Even though it is easy to convert one [file at a time](ConvertDocToFileDoc.md), Sometimes you need to convert an entire directory of RTF Files ([or txt files](ConvertDirTXTToFile.md)) to Docs. You can do this easily on the command line using [Docto](https://github.com/tobya/docto).
The command line below shows how you can convert all the RTF Files in a folder to a Microsoft Word Document file - Doc. If you provide a directory and an extension, docto knows to convert all the documents matching that extension in that directory.
Command Line
-
````
docto -WD -f 'c:\path\todocuments' -fx .rtf -o 'c:\path\toOutputfiles' -t wdFormatDocumentDefault
````
or easier to read
````
docto -WD
-f 'c:\path\todocuments'
-fx '.rtf'
-o 'c:\path\toOutputfiles'
-t wdFormatDocumentDefault
````
Command Line Explained
-
- `-WD` : This is a conversion using Microsoft Word.
- `-f` : The File or directory to be converted
- `-fx` : File with this extension should be matched.
- `-o` : The Output File or Directory where you would like the converted file to be written to.
- `-T` : The file format type that is being converted to
When providing an extension to search for do not include the initial `*`, so `*.rtf` should be `.rtf`
