sap-docs-extract

Yes, you can convert both Excel (.xlsx) and Word (.doc/.docx) SAP design documents into text files. The tool reads multiple input formats and outputs a standardized set of _docName_*.txt files for ABAP generation.

The best way is to parse the SAP design docs and split the information into separate UTF-8 text files by type. This standardization step outputs _docName_*.txt files, enabling seamless chaining to downstream ABAP generation workflows.

Yes, you can use an existing work folder as input for SAP data extraction. The tool accepts pre-built work folders alongside Excel, Word, and PDF files to process and generate the structured text outputs needed for your workflow.

Yes, the SAP data extraction process handles different Excel workbook layouts. It implements per-workbook layout interpretation to accurately read and convert your source documents into structured text files.

After converting SAP docs to text files, you can chain downstream steps like sap-docs-check-ddic or sap-gen-abap. These subsequent processing steps use the structured text outputs to complete the ABAP code generation pipeline.

Yes, the SAP data extraction implements overwrite behavior for its output. It generates a set of _docName_*.txt files in UTF-8 format, overwriting any existing files with the same names in the target directory.
