title: node.js/grunt - extract ppt(x) text and slide
body: <p>Is there anyway to call a vba/vbscript from inside the grunt.js/node.js workflow.
  Im trying to create an automated workflow that will allow me to programmatically export ppt slide contents to a series of json/text files. Previously I have done this with a custom GUI connecting to vba via wscript..... Now im looking to modernise this and produce the same result if not better using grunt/yeoman and node.js. Also not having this window dependent would be advantageous. </p>
  
  <p>Can vba scripting by integrated this way? 
  Or would I need to look either java, C, or python for pptx access</p>
  
  <p>Similar sample of vba code:

  <p>Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
