Okay so basically here is what is going on.
I have recently been working on a massive project on a vast scale. I mean this is all text and word based documents from OpenOffice.
I have 1 Main Folder, within that folder I have 12 sub-folders, within those 12 sub-folders I have various amounts of OpenOffice word documents in each sub-folder.
The documents are OpenDocument Text (.ODT), or ODT files.
I have well over 200 individual documents (all of them are .odt files) in the entire folder as stated by right clicking on the main folder and selecting properties.
I was able to find out I have 213 files in 12 different folders.
Now the problem is that it does not tell me how many pages (total number of pages) in the entire folder that I have to print.
I was wondering if there was a program or script out there (or if somebody with knowledge on programming and scripting) that could help me out with this project.
Even if you have to create a program from scratch, your programming knowledge will not go to waste.
Here is my idea:
Basically there has to be a script/program that can scan all the contents in the main folder, then scan the 12 sub-folders I have within the main folder.
Then the program could scan all of the ODT files in each of the sub-folders and count the number of pages that is in each of the odt document files.
Then give me a total number of pages for the entire project.
End of idea.
It would save me the hassle of clicking on each odt file and going to print preview just to see the number of pages I am going to be printing out.
Any help would be appreciated, so thanks a bunch in advance.
