<pre>1. The problem of not getting any output on Windows is indeed <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_RESOLVED bz_closed"
title="RESOLVED FIXED - soffice --help displays nothing (Windows command line)"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=112536">tdf#112536</a>, and
is fixed now.
2. --cat does work for me with .odt files; when using with debug builds, one
needs to consider the debug output that gets emitted by LibreOffice to stderr,
and mixed with the output to stdout when seen in terminal; so the best way to
see if something is actually output is using command line like
<span class="quote">> soffice --cat path/to/file.odt > path/to/out.txt</span >
so that out.txt would contain only the stdout data, while console would get all
warnings/info from stderr.
3. --cat does *not* work for me with .ods; *possibly* that's expected that we
only output the content for text documents, not other types of documents - I
suppose we use "plain text" output filter for the loaded document, which would
fail for spreadsheets.</pre>
