C++ API to Export OFT to MD
Transform OFT to MD within C++ application without requiring Microsoft Word or Outlook
Why to Convert
As a C++ developer, you may need to add email conversion features inside your applications. Email conversion is a process of transforming emails from one format to another. This process is necessary to ensure that emails are compatible with different email clients and applications.
How Aspose.Total helps for oft to md conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a comprehensive suite of APIs that helps developers to work with various file formats. It includes two APIs, Aspose.Email for C++ and Aspose.Words for C++, which can be used to convert OFT file format to HTML and then export HTML to MD.
Aspose.Email for C++ is a powerful API that enables developers to convert emails from one format to another. It supports a wide range of email formats, including OFT, EML, MSG, MHTML, and HTML. With this API, you can easily convert OFT file format to HTML.
Aspose.Words for C++ is a powerful API that enables developers to work with documents in various formats. It supports a wide range of document formats, including DOC, DOCX, ODT, HTML, and MD. With this API, you can easily export HTML to MD.
Both APIs come under Aspose.Total for C++ package. This package provides developers with a comprehensive set of APIs to work with various file formats. It includes APIs for working with emails, documents, images, and other file formats. With this package, developers can easily convert OFT file format to HTML and then export HTML to MD.
C++ API to Convert OFT to MD
- Open OFT file using MailMessage class reference
- Convert OFT to HTML by using Save member function
- Load HTML by using Document class
- Save the document to MD format using Save method and set Md as SaveFormat
Get Started with C++ File Format APIs
Install from command line as nuget install Aspose.Total.Cpp or via Package Manager Console of Visual Studio with Install-Package Aspose.Total.Cpp.
Alternatively, get the offline MSI installer or DLLs in a ZIP file from downloads .
// load the OFT file to be converted
System::SharedPtr<MailMessage> msg = MailMessage::Load(u"sourceFile.oft");
// save OFT as a HTML
msg->Save(u"HtmlOutput.html", SaveOptions::get_DefaultHtml());
// load HTML with an instance of Document
System::SharedPtr<Document> doc = System::MakeObject<Document>(u"HtmlOutput.html");
// call save method while passing Md as save format
doc->Save(u"convertedFile.Md");
Parse OFT File via C++
Not only you can convert your OFT to MD, but you can read, manipulate, and parse OFT document. You can get subject, address, body, recipients information of the email by using MapiMessage class of Aspose.Email for C++ API. For example, you can check for a specific sender email for the conversion by using get_SenderEmailAddress() property.
// create an instance of MapiMessage from file
System::SharedPtr<MapiMessage> msg = MapiMessage::FromFile(dataDir + L"message.oft");
// get subject
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Subject:") + msg->get_Subject());
// get from address
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"From:") + msg->get_SenderEmailAddress());
// get body
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Body") + msg->get_Body());
// get recipients information
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Recipient: ") + msg->get_Recipients());
C++ API to Restrict MD File Format Editing
You can also add document protection features in your app while exporting the document from OFT to MD. Adding protection to your document is a simple process, as all you need to do is apply the protection method to your document. You can set protection type to ReadOnly to restrict the user to edit the document.
// create a new document and protect it with a password.
auto doc = System::MakeObject<Document>();
// apply Document Protection.
doc->Protect(ProtectionType::ReadOnly, u"password");
// save the document.
doc->Save(u"DocumentProtection.PasswordProtection.Md");
