Question Possible to export each chapter to individual files?
Greetings all,

Is there anyway to export chapters to individual .txt or .doc files automatically?
I see there is a way to convert the book for .txt or .doc etc.. but I'm needing to extract each chapter to a file for a project I'm working on.

My input format is .mobi

Thank you for any thoughts or ideas

As far as I recall, exporting to .txt or .docx and then splitting the file in your work processor is likely to be the easiest method. You could convert the mobi to epub and then split the epub using the epubsplit plugin and then converting the mass of epubs produced to .docx but since you have to manually select the split points in either case, the first method is likely to be easier.

Thank you, I forgot to mention I'm needing to extract hundreds of chapters into separate files.

I don't know of a way to automate that in a word processor. If there is a way I'd be open to it or if there are any other ways to do this.

I would convert to .txt and use a command line text editing tool(s), which can be incorporated into a script.

Best Text Editors for Linux Command Line

Some of those (e.g Vim and Emacs) are available on Windows.

IF it was HTML you could deal with:
Simply create an EPUB with chapter per file split
Then use the Unpack tool (at the library level) All the pieces are there. Be sure to have named the section files to know the order
