# Read and Modify (+2)
## Read and Modify
```python
from pptx import Presentation
prs = Presentation("existing.pptx")
for slide in prs.slides:
for shape in slide.shapes:
if shape.has_text_frame:
for paragraph in shape.text_frame.paragraphs:
for run in paragraph.runs:
if "old text" in run.text:
run.text = run.text.replace("old text", "new text")
prs.save("modified.pptx")
```
## Extract Text
```python
from pptx import Presentation
prs = Presentation("presentation.pptx")
for slide_num, slide in enumerate(prs.slides, 1):
print(f"\n--- Slide {slide_num} ---")
for shape in slide.shapes:
if shape.has_text_frame:
for paragraph in shape.text_frame.paragraphs:
print(paragraph.text)
```
## Copy Slides
```python
from pptx import Presentation
from copy import deepcopy
prs = Presentation("source.pptx")
# Note: python-pptx doesn't directly support slide copying
# Use slide layouts from the same presentation instead
