Hi Steve,

This is what I want: a script or a GUI program (preferably QT 4/5) that
converts doc/x documents with a recursive behaviour so that the files
that are converted didn't go to a special folder, just stay where the
doc/x documents are.

What do you think guys?

I wanted to take code from libreoffice (I suppose it's C) and program
the GUI interface with Python (using pyqt). It is not easy to learn all
this stuff. It took me some years to learn C doing a lot of excercises.

I also wanted to program an advanced string searcher like Super Finder
or like the Window$ XP searcher (Mom says that Window$ XP searcher is
better than the 7 one)

Kind regards,

Ed
