Examples
Shows how to extract embedded OLE objects into files.
doc = aw.Document(MY_DIR + "OLE spreadsheet.docm")
shape = doc.get_child(aw.NodeType.SHAPE, 0, True).as_shape()
# The OLE object in the first shape is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
ole_format = shape.ole_format
self.assertEqual("Excel.Sheet.12", ole_format.prog_id)
# Our object is neither auto updating nor locked from updates.
self.assertFalse(ole_format.auto_update)
self.assertEqual(False, ole_format.is_locked)
# If we plan on saving the OLE object to a file in the local file system,
# we can use the "suggested_extension" property to determine which file extension to apply to the file.
self.assertEqual(".xlsx", ole_format.suggested_extension)
# Below are two ways of saving an OLE object to a file in the local file system.
# 1 - Save it via a stream:
with open(ARTIFACTS_DIR + "OLE spreadsheet extracted via stream" + ole_format.suggested_extension, "wb") as file:
ole_format.save(file)
# 2 - Save it directly to a filename:
ole_format.save(ARTIFACTS_DIR + "OLE spreadsheet saved directly" + ole_format.suggested_extension)
