Hi guys,

I want to read text from binary data which was saved in database from the .doc file. I cannot save the file to disk in order to read it back.
Is there any way? I have read the .docx file from stream but now want to read .doc.

Regards.

So what I understood is that you have the entire docx file in memory (that you read from the database), you don't want to save it to disk and open it via Word, and instead want to extract just the text data from it.
