Reading docx file with R and converting the values to numeric

Question

I have this docx file ( https://github.com/rhozon/datasets/blob/master/idades.docx?raw=true ) and I want to read this file directly in the link and convert the numbers to numeric.

I´m using textreadr::read_docx(... but I believe that here I can find an better way to do this.

A possible solution:

library(tidyverse)
library(textreadr)

read_docx("idades.docx") %>% 
  str_split(",") %>% 
  unlist() %>% 
  str_trim() %>% 
  as.numeric()
