Hi Delphians, I'm using D7 and Vista/XP here.
I'm looking for some component that can extract text from a whole variety of formats, such as Word, PDFs, HTML, XML, and so on. I only want the text, not the visuals or other nontextual materials, and I don't care about the structure of the text (paragraphs, etc) so long as I have it in a usable format. I know that Windows has an iFilter interface, but I'm not sure if that is a good way to get the text, because it requires the user of my software to download DLLs for each kind of format. Companies like Google, Yahoo, etc have access to text in many, many formats for their search engines, and I suspect there is some software available that does that extraction since its such a widely applicable need. Component, suggestions, or shared experiences are welcome. -Rich _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/delphi
