HWP Extract

This is a Python utility for extracting objects and metadata from .hwp files. This script supports extraction of objects from password protected HWP files (assuming a password is provided).

Installation

To install HWP Extract, you can use something like this:

python -m pip install hwp-extract

Usage as a library

For examples of how to use HWP Extract as a library, review the code in src/hwpextract/cli.py

CLI usage

Following successful installation of HWP Extract a new CLI utility will be available, for usage see:

hwp-extract --help

Extract embedded files

hwp-extract /path/to/file.hwp --extract-files

Display metadata

hwp-extract /path/to/file.hwp --extract-meta

Extract embedded files from a password protected HWP file with password 1234

hwp-extract /path/to/file.hwp --extract-files --password 1234

Disclaimer

There's another great library for working with .hwp files which is published here. The primary reasons to use this library over pyhwp are:

• Simpler CLI interaction
• Support for password protected HWP files.

If you're looking for a function in this library that doesn't exist, it may well exist in PyHwp.
