[python-win32] UnicodeEncodingError when print a doc file

[cool_go_blue]

So, my following code:

app = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Word.Application')
app.Documents.Open(r'D:/projects/Myself/HelloPython/src/Drugreservoir.doc')
app.ActiveDocument.SaveAs(r'D:/projects/Myself/HelloPython/src/Drugreservoir1.txt',FileFormat=win32com.client.constants.wdFormatText)
doc = app.Documents.Open(r'D:/projects/Myself/HelloPython/src/Drugreservoir1.txt')
count = 0
for word in doc.Content.Text.encode("cp1252", "replace").split():
    print word

Does SaveAs save the doc to a txt file? What I was thinking is "app.Documents.Open('D:/projects/Myself/HelloPython/src/Drugreservoir1.txt')" can open the txt file which I can read. Is there any way I can read the saved txt file after SaveAs...

To a certain extent, this comes from on-the-job experience.  It is
described in the win32com documentation.  There's also a couple of books
on Python in Windows ("Python Programming on Win32" is one).

You aren't using "auto save" here.  You are still reading the document
directly from the application.  The idea was, after you save the
document as text, you go read that text file instead of using
doc.Content.Text.  You aren't THINKING about your problem.
